Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag’s sudden disappearance from the Steam retailer is right down to nothing extra thrilling than a tech bug – and positively isn’t an indication of an upcoming remake for the pirate entry within the stealth-action franchise.
That’s based on Ubisoft anyway, who felt it crucial to answer rumours that Black Flag had been pulled from sale on Steam to make room for a remake of the swashbuckling 2013 sequel.
“We are conscious that Assassin’s Creed Black Flag is at present unavailable for buy on Steam,” a Ubisoft rep advised our friends over at Eurogamer. “This is because of a technical challenge, and our groups are engaged on an answer to deliver it again as quickly as potential.”
Speculation had sprung up within the wake of Black Flag immediately being unavailable to purchase by way of Steam – one thing that is still the case as of the time of writing. While its Steam web page stays, there’s at present no strategy to decide up the Assassin’s Creed standout by way of the shop.
There is greater than pure optimism behind the scuttlebutt, too. A remake of Black Flag was reported to be in growth again in June, with Skull & Bones’ lead studio Ubisoft Singapore mentioned to be “closely concerned” as they seemingly wrap up their long-awaited and much-delayed pirate recreation – which itself began life as an enlargement for Black Flag.
With that in thoughts, don’t anticipate to see the Black Flag remake anytime quickly, whether it is certainly within the works. Skull & Bones nonetheless doesn’t have a launch date – though it’s not less than made it to a closed beta now – and any Black Flag remake is alleged to be within the very early levels and not less than a number of years away.
