, Ubisoft is still to officially confirm its ****** Flag remake exists. But players have been tracking its progress for a while now, and think they have a pretty good idea of how it will play.

Alongside visual and gameplay upgrades to bring the game closer to Assassin's Creed Shadows' level of fidelity and more RPG-like focus, a recent report detailed plans for the game to feature all-new content and missions for its pirate hero Edward Kenway.

.

It's believed that work on this new ****** Flag remake has been spearheaded by Ubisoft Singapore, which previously launched the long-delayed Skull and Bones — a game that began life as an offshoot of ****** Flag's maritime gameplay.

Ubisoft is going all-in on Assassin's Creed, its biggest franchise, with this year's Assassin's Creed Shadows followed by a recent Saudi Arabia-funded free update to 2023's Assassin's Creed Mirage. Alongside its ****** Flag remake, next year is expected to bring a second major Shadows expansion. Beyond that, Ubisoft has already announced that a multiplayer Assassin's Creed game and its next big blockbuster, the witchcraft-themed Assassin's Creed Hexe, are also in the works.

This morning, Ubisoft said its latest positive financial results had been driven in part by a "strong performance" for its Assassin's Creed franchise. But while the company noted that Mirage had now passed 10 million sales, there was no new figure provided for how well this year's Shadows has sold.
