March 24, 2026. This is the release date of the Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Remaster tie-in art book. Published by Titan Books, a loyal Ubisoft partner publisher, this type of work usually accompanies the launch of a game or follows it for a few days. Enough to arouse the suspicions of fans, always on the lookout for the slightest official information.
A leak from Amazon that seems too specific to be a coincidence
It was on the Amazon platform that the book was spotted, without fanfare. Simply titled Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Remasterthe work appears in the catalog with a clear release date: March 24, 2026.
Fans of the series know that this is not the first time that a derivative product has spilled the beans before its time. This regular partnership between Titan Books and Ubisoft is known for supporting major releases: guides, artbooks, encyclopedias.
If the game is released at the same time as the book – as has already been the case for several titles in the franchise – then the month of March could well mark the return to sea of Ubisoft’s pirates.
A highly anticipated remaster, but still not confirmed by Ubisoft
For now, Ubisoft has neither confirmed nor denied the information. The Black Flag remaster has been circulating in rumors for months, without an official announcement. The firm has recently gone through a turbulent period, marked by internal restructuring and several project cancellations.
This silence fuels several hypotheses: either the game will indeed be announced in the coming days, perhaps during an event like PlayStation State of Play, or the release of the game has been delayed, while the date of the book could not be pushed back in time.
Some analysts are banking on a revelation to come on Ubisoft’s own channels, in a desire to centralize communication around an emblematic project.
Return to sea for the favorite part of many fans
Released in 2013, Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag is often cited as one of the best opuses in the saga. A mix of naval adventure, open world and tropical exploration, it marked a turning point in the series.
A remastering of this cult episode, exploiting the current capabilities of the latest generation consoles, could attract a new audience while awakening the nostalgia of veterans of the saga.
While awaiting official confirmation, all eyes are on Ubisoft. One thing is certain: this remaster, if it comes out in March, would make waves… in all ports.
