An Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flagremaster seems to be on the horizon for Assassin's Creed fans, which is great. This also brings the opportunity for Ubisoft to add in the multiplayer that the series used to be known for. This was a great addition to the series when it was added, but seemed to disappear entirely as the games went on, and hasn't been seen since Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag. 3m6t1l

A gaming industry insider has spoken about Ubisoft's purported plans for the next titles in the Assassin's Creed franchise, including talks about a remake of the fan-favorite Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag. Ubisoft has not confirmed this information, and all rumors and reports should be taken with a grain of salt.

It's a bit silly that Assassin's Creed developer Ubisoft has never managed a proper follow-up to Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag, but the perfect successor might actually lie in Like A Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii. Like Black Flag, Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii adds a piratical twist to a series that isn't usually focused on swashbuckling. The Like a Dragon/Yakuza series typically deals with the affairs of Japanese organized crime, but it's also known for its wacky side content and surprising helping of heart, both of which look to be present in the entry.

Assassin’s Creed has a handful of titles more deserving of a remake than Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag. The series has been around for just over fifteen years now, with more than 20 mainline releases and spin-offs. Even more titles are on the way, like Assassin’s Creed: Mirage and Assassin’s Creed: Codename Red. With such a long history, it’s odd that one of the middle entries is getting remade instead of the earliest games or the titles that flew under the radar.

A remake of Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag could end up being more trouble than it's worth. Released in 2013 for the PS3, Xbox 360, and Wii U, AC: Black Flag was the sixth mainline title in the historically-set stealth series. Following the crew of Welsh privateer Edward Kenway, Black Flag takes place in the Golden Age of Piracy, among the Spanish and British-occupied waters of the Caribbean Sea. A direct prequel to the colonial America-set game that preceded it (Assassin's Creed 3), Black Flag was a critical and commercial success. It introduced a number of new ideas to the series, including the sailing mechanic that's recurred in many AC installments since.In the years since AC: Black Flag, however, the Assassin's Creed franchise has fumbled its way into dire straits. Although the latest title, Valhalla, was an improvement and AC Mirage is on the way, the changing structure of the Assassin's Creed formula doesn't bode well for the future of the franchise. If Ubisoft were to take the "lessons" it's learned in the intervening years and apply them to a Black Flag remake, the end result could be unrecognizable from the beloved original.

One of Ubisoft's games in 2022 is called Skull and Bones, a historical pirate game that was originally going to serve as an Assassin's Creed: Black Flag spin-off but ended up becoming its own unique pirate game taking place in the Indian Ocean.

The long-gestating pirate action game Skull and Bonesis finally on the horizon, but it may not be the successor to Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flagthat audiences had hoped for. In the five years since the game's reveal (and nine since it began development), it has pivoted from its original premise as a follow-up to the popular 2013 Ubisoft title to something completely different. The pirate theme is still alive, but major changes in the game's design philosophy and intended experience have taken root amidst numerous delays and uncertainty during Skull and Bones' development. Now, Skull and Bones is entirely its own beast.

First announced in 2017, Skull & Bones was originally set to be a PVP multiplayer game in which players fought each other in naval and third-person combat - similar to Guns Of Icarus or a pirate version of Rainbow Six Siege. However, after its first reveal, it vanished for over five years but has recently resurfaced with a lot of changes.

How does Assassin's Creed: Black Flag compare to the Pirates of the Caribbean segment of Kingdom Hearts 3? The most famous section of the long-awaited JRPG sequel is by far the one that emulates one of the Assassin's Creed series' most beloved titles, using the world of Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End to sail around on a ship, getting into fights reminiscent of Black Flag. But how do the two hold up when compared?

Skull and Bones is Ubisoft's pirate game, and a spiritual successor to Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag. Though the games' concepts may be extremely similar on the surface, the new gameplay reveal for Skull and Bones showed that it's strayed quite far from its predecessor. Fans of Black Flag who were looking forward to more of the same may be disappointed, but some might find the changes and additions to be welcome differences.
