More indirect evidence pointing to the possibility of Ubisoft's remake of "Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag" has surfaced - this clue comes from Steam backend data updates.Although news from many parties has confirmed that the project exists, the official announcement is still unclear as the original game is about to celebrate its 12th anniversary.

The latest trends show that the Steam backend page of "Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag" has recently been updated abnormally.A social platform user discovered that Ubisoft has added four new "micro trailers" to this 12-year-old game, which will automatically play when players open the store page through a client (such as a browser or Steam app).Such updates are rare for classic works, suggesting that this may be more than routine maintenance of promotional materials.SteamDB crawling data also shows that Ubisoft modified the game content package configuration several times on June 4 and 12, but the specific changes have not been made public.

Months before the update, Canadian collectibles maker PureArts hinted that the Black Flag remake existed.The company revealed in the live broadcast of "Assassin's Creed" theme figures: "The protagonist Edward will make a big move."It is worth noting that PureArts is a long-term partner of Ubisoft and has created limited peripherals for the full series of official stories.

Previously, according to Insider Gaming, Ubisoft originally planned to launch a remake by the end of 2025 (probably November), but the schedule was later adjusted due to the delay of "Assassin's Creed".Given that Assassin's Creed: Shadow has been delayed for only a few months, the remake of "Black Flag" may still be released in a similar window - as early as the first half of 2026.
