Fans are excited as Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag Steam Page shows new features and changes fueling remake rumours.
Ubisoft surprised fans recently by making subtle but notable changes to the Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag Steam Page on July 8, 2025. Without any official announcement, the popular pirate-themed instalment's page now looks different, sparking widespread speculation about a possible remake of this beloved 2013 classic.
What Changed on the Black Flag Steam Page?
Sharp-eyed fans noticed several updates to the game’s Steam listing. Notably, the “Ubisoft Connect” mention was removed from the third-party DRM section, which was unexpected. Additionally, new promotional images replaced the older ones, and hidden technical details were altered.
One of the biggest hints came from new features appearing in the Steam store page’s specifications, as reported by gaming insider The Hidden One on X (formerly Twitter). These new additions include:
- Custom volume controls
- Stereo and surround sound options
- Mouse-only gameplay mode
- Manual save functionality
- Adjustable difficulty settings
These options are not present in the original game, suggesting they are part of preparations for an updated or remade version.

Why Fans Think an Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag Remake is Coming
Rumors about an Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag remake have circulated since 2023, but Ubisoft has remained silent. The recent Steam page updates have reignited hopes that the remake is closer to reality. The original game remains a fan favourite for its open-sea pirate adventures and the charismatic protagonist, Edward Kenway.
Ubisoft has recently shown a trend of revisiting and modernising older titles, as seen with Assassin’s Creed Mirage. Fans speculate that Black Flag could receive a similar treatment, combining nostalgia with modern gameplay enhancements.
Adding to the speculation, the voice actor behind Edward Kenway recently teased on social media that a fan will be playing Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag once again, but could not reveal more details. This cryptic message fueled excitement about an impending announcement.
Moreover, the pattern of silent Steam page updates ahead of big announcements is not new. Ubisoft previously made unannounced changes before revealing new Prince of Persia projects, suggesting this could be a similar prelude.
For now, fans eagerly watch the Black Flag Steam Page for further clues. If the remake is real, it promises to bring fresh life to one of the most cherished Assassin’s Creed titles.
