The
Assassin’s
Creed:
Black
Flag
remake/remaster
feels
like
an
open
secret
at
this
point,
having
been
leaked
numerous
times.
In
fact,
just
recently,

Edward
Kenway’s
own
voice
actor
seemed
to
heavily
tease
its
existence.
And
now,
Ubisoft
has
updated
the
original
Black
Flag’s
Steam
page
with
new
features
that
the
game
does
not
have.

Allow
me
to
explain:
as
brought
to
our
attention
by
@TheHiddenOneAC
on
X,
Ubisoft
has
updated
the
Steam
listing
for
Assassin’s
Creed:
Black
Flag,
adding
categories
for
things
like
“Save
Anytime”,
“Adjustable
Difficulty”
and
“Mouse
Only
Option”.

You
can
see
these
changes
on
SteamDB.

BREAKING:
These
features
were
recently
updated
on
the
Assassin’s
Creed
Black
Flag
Steam
page.
I’m
certain
these
are
NEW
additions
for
the
remake,
since
none
of
these
options
are
currently
available
in
the
original
game.

Last
time
I
checked,
there’s
no
difficulty
option,
manual…

The
key
to
this
story
is
that
these
features
are
not
currently
available
in
the
game.
You
can’t
manually
save
in
Black
Flag,
instead
it
autosaves
at
checkpoints.
Nor
does
it
have
a
mouse
only
option.

The
theory
here
is
that
these
updates
are
actually
for
the
upcoming
remake
or
remaster
of
Black
Flag,
and
that
it
will
completely
replace
the
original
game
when
it
launches.
That
would
be
a
bold
move,
as
Ubisoft
–
along
with
other
companies
–
typically
face
some
backlash
for
removing
the
original
version
of
a
game
and
replacing
it.

Prior
to
the
actor
for
Edward
Kenway
leaking
it,

a
Black
Flag
remake/remaster
was
leaked
by
someone
on
LinkedIn
who
listed
it
before
said
post
was
removed.
Ubisoft
themselves
have
also
confirmed
that
are
working
on
some
Assassin’s
Creed
remakes,
but
stopped
short
of
naming
which
ones.

Currently,
it’s
believed
the
remake
is
scheduled
for
later
this
year,
but
the
delay
of
Assassin’s
Creed:
Shadows
may
have
potentially
pushed
it
back
to
2026.
