The remake of Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag has reportedly been delayed. According to well-known leaker Tom Henderson, the release has been pushed back by several months. This news is particularly disappointing since the remake’s debut was believed to be just around the corner.
Henderson stated that the highly anticipated remake — featuring Edward Kenway as the main character — was expected to go gold in early February, with a planned release date of March 19.
However, for now, this information remains speculation based on data Henderson claims to have cross-checked. Ubisoft has mentioned that one of its upcoming projects, originally planned for the 2026 fiscal year, is being given additional development time.
The Only Game That Fits the Description
According to the information available, the Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag remake is the only project that matches the details Ubisoft described. This makes it very likely that the delayed title is indeed the Black Flag remake.
Recently, the game Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced appeared in classification listings, suggesting that an official announcement was imminent. This makes the rumored delay even more disappointing for long-time fans who were eagerly awaiting the return of one of the franchise’s most beloved entries.
If Henderson’s reported dates turn out to be accurate, we’ll soon know whether Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag has truly been postponed — or if Ubisoft’s statement referred to another mysterious and unannounced project.
