- Quick Answer: Ubisoft is reportedly working on a second Assassin’s Creed remake beyond Black Flag Resynced, likely focused on one of the earliest entries in the series—but nothing has been officially confirmed yet.
Ubisoft may already be looking beyond Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced, as multiple reports and insider comments suggest that another Assassin’s Creed remake is currently in development.
While Black Flag Resynced is the remake getting all the attention right now, it may not be the only classic entry Ubisoft wants to bring back.
According to insider claims, the next remake is expected to focus on one of the earlier games in the franchise, though Ubisoft has not officially revealed which title it is yet.
Why Did Ubisoft Choose Black Flag First?
The report comes at an interesting time, with Black Flag Resynced only recently becoming official after years of leaks repeatedly hinted at the Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag remake, long considered one of Ubisoft’s worst-kept secrets.

The original Black Flag remains one of the most popular games in the series, mostly because it gave the franchise a very different identity through its pirate fantasy, naval battles, island exploration, and Edward Kenway’s story.
Even more than a decade later, many fans still consider it one of the most memorable entries Ubisoft has ever made.
That popularity likely explains why Ubisoft chose Black Flag as its first major Assassin’s Creed remake instead of starting with the original 2007 game.
Black Flag already has a strong foundation that still appeals to modern players. Its ship combat, open-world sailing, tropical setting, and sense of adventure are all elements that could benefit from updated visuals and modern gameplay improvements without needing to be completely redesigned from scratch. In that sense, Black Flag Resynced feels like a safer test for Ubisoft’s remake plans.
What Do Insiders Say About the Next Remake?
However, the bigger story lies in what comes next, as insider Tom Henderson claims another Assassin’s Creed remake is already in development, focusing on one of the series’ earlier titles.
That immediately led to speculation about titles like the original Assassin’s Creed, Assassin’s Creed 2, or even Assassin’s Creed 3.
French leaker j0nathan later added more fuel to the discussion by suggesting that the next remake could most likely be based on the first Assassin’s Creed, although he framed it more as an informed guess rather than a direct confirmation.
A remake of the original Assassin’s Creed would make sense, as the 2007 release established the foundation of the franchise, introducing the Assassin Brotherhood, the Templars, the Animus, Altaïr, and the historical stealth-action formula later expanded by future titles.
However, it is also the mainline entry that has aged the hardest. Its world and atmosphere are still memorable, but its mission structure is repetitive, its combat is simple, and its controls can feel stiff compared to modern standards.
A full remake would allow Ubisoft to preserve the story and setting while rebuilding the gameplay to feel smoother, deeper, and more cinematic.
That would make it a much bigger transformation than Black Flag Resynced. With Black Flag, Ubisoft can build on a game that already had a large open world, naval systems, hunting, exploration, and a more modern story structure.
The original Assassin’s Creed would need far more work. Ubisoft would likely have to rethink missions, improve stealth, expand combat, modernize parkour, and make the cities feel more dynamic.
If done properly, it could introduce a new generation of players to the beginning of the franchise while giving longtime fans a version of Altaïr’s story that feels closer to today’s standards.
Why Do Fans Think Assassin’s Creed 2 Is Also Possible?
Still, many fans also see Assassin’s Creed 2 as a strong contender, since the 2009 sequel is widely credited with turning the series into a major blockbuster franchise.
It introduced Ezio Auditore, one of Ubisoft’s most beloved characters, and launched a trilogy that remains hugely important to the series’ legacy.
Because of that, many fans argue that Assassin’s Creed 2 deserves remake treatment just as much as the first game, if not more.
But based on the current reports, the mystery remake seems more likely to come from the very earliest era of the franchise.
The reports also suggest Ubisoft is not fully committing to a long line of remakes just yet. Instead, Black Flag Resynced may act as a major test.
If it performs well commercially and gets a strong fan response, Ubisoft could look at more classic entries and decide which ones are worth rebuilding next.
If it underperforms, the company may become more cautious and slow down its remake plans.
That means the future of Assassin’s Creed remakes may depend heavily on how Black Flag Resynced performs when it launches.
There is also a bigger concern surrounding Ubisoft’s remake strategy as remakes may sound like safer projects because they are based on games people already know and love, but they are still expensive and risky.
Ubisoft has already had problems with other remake projects in the past, including long development struggles around Splinter Cell and Prince of Persia.
That shows that bringing back an old game is not automatically easy. If the remake takes too long, costs too much, or changes the wrong things, it can still disappoint players.
