A game that many consider the best in the Assassin’s Creed series, Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag, has mysteriously vanished from the Steam platform. This development has fueled rumors and speculation about a potential remake.
Back in June, reports emerged suggesting that Ubisoft had plans for a remake of Assassin’s Creed 4, alongside projects like Assassin’s Creed Mirage, AC Infinity, and Assassin’s Creed Red.
While sources familiar with Ubisoft’s activities mentioned the AC 4 remake, it was said to be in its early stages and might not materialize for several years. Officially, Ubisoft has not commented on the existence of an Assassin’s Creed 4 remake.
Vanishing Act on Steam
As of Thursday, September 7, Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag is no longer available for purchase on Steam. Notably, it has also been removed from the Assassin’s Creed bundle on the platform, which typically includes all the mainline entries in the open-world series.
However, it’s worth mentioning that Black Flag can still be found on the Ubisoft Store. The removal from Steam doesn’t necessarily indicate a remake in the works, as games are sometimes temporarily delisted for technical fixes or significant updates.
