I never loved how it traded signature urban jungles for smaller settlements and actual jungles, but sailing the high seas with my mates while making swiss cheese of the British armada was so fun that I didn&#8217;t really mind.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure inline-layout\" data-bordeaux-image-check >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:960px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:56.25%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"8zmkqkEJbrrtd4jkB77q6k\" name=\"OBS_artwork_web\" alt=\"ac4 remake\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/ubisoft-finally-confirms-the-assassins-creed-4-black-flag-remake-is-real-and-its-dropping-the-4-for-some-reason.jpg\" mos=\"\" align=\"middle\" fullscreen=\"\" width=\"960\" height=\"540\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" class=\"inline\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption itemprop=\"caption description\" class=\" inline-layout\"><span class=\"credit\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Image credit: Ubisoft)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Ubi also just clearly has a soft spot for its pirate game\u2014it&#8217;s no coincidence that the director of the original Black Flag, Jean Guesden, was recently tapped to replace Clint Hocking as director of the next mainline AC on the books, <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/gaming-industry\/assassins-creed-hexe-creative-director-clint-hocking-leaves-ubisoft-former-black-flag-director-jean-guesden-takes-over-as-development-continues-under-a-seasoned-team\/\">Project Hexe<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Also, is it worth talking about how Ubisoft has erased the &#8220;4&#8221; from Black Flag&#8217;s title?
