Ubisoft has responded to the speculation around the remake of Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag with a lighthearted approach, sharing a meme from the Grand Theft Auto series to keep the conversation alive.
This nod came from the official social media channels for Assassin’s Creed, reacting to a post about a collectible Edward Kenway figurine linked to the supposed remake. The original post featured images of the detailed statue.
In a playful exchange, Ubisoft responded with a classic meme from Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, depicting the game’s main character, CJ, with the line, “Ah sh*t, here we go again.”

The figurine’s base features logos for Ubisoft and PureArts, hinting at a 2026 copyright date, fueling speculation about the return of the beloved pirate-filled adventure.
There are other intriguing developments, such as the reupload of the Black Flag sea shanties on YouTube, which Ubisoft attributed to “technical issues.” Additionally, a PEGI listing titled Black Flag Resynced was spotted late last year, intensifying anticipation for the game’s return.
While many believed that Ubisoft might release Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag remake this April, the company has made headlines for shutting down two studios and canceling six projects. This restructuring has led to delays for several titles, including the potential Black Flag remake.
