- A new Assassin’s Creed Black Flag a remake leak has appeared online in the form of a collectible statue
- It is claimed that the statue will be released this year alongside the long-rumored game.
- Ubisoft responded to the leak with an image of the famous GTA San Andreas meme, which says: “Ah shit, here we go again”
Ubisoft officially recognized the work in progress Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag remaking the rumors in a rather unconventional way after another leak appeared online.
For years there have been reports that a modern remake of Black flag is in the works, with new leaks popping up every couple of months to keep the rumor mill alive. A fan apparently discovered a domain registered to Assassin’s Creed Black Flag resynced recently, and it was claimed that the game would launch before March 31.
Now the latest leak in this long story appears to be a collectible statue depicting Black flagthe protagonist of Edward Kenway, which appeared for sale on the bargain app Vinted (via IGN).
X/Twitter user ‘TheRealZephryss’ shared images of the statue, writing: “This could be the new Edward Kenway figurine for the Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Remake. Some guy on Vinted is selling a brand new Edward Kenway figurine and claims it will be released this year. »
Usually, rumors and leaks are generally ignored by game developers and publishers, but it looks like Ubisoft is leaning into the speculation.
In response to this message, the manager Assassin’s Creed account shared the iconic screenshot of Grand Theft Auto San Andreaswhich has now been turned into a viral meme, showing the game’s Carl Johnson saying: “Ah shit, here we go again.”

Is it a verification that a Black flag is the remake on the way? Or is Ubisoft just playing on ongoing rumors? Either way, we don’t have official confirmation yet, so hold on to your pirate hats.
As IGN notes, however, the statue’s appearance follows a hint from collecting company Pure Arts, which suggested last year that it was working on something for Black Flag and would surface in the not-so-distant future because “there’s something going on.”
In fact, close-ups of the statue show the logos of Ubisoft and Pure Arts, with a copyright mark registered for 2026, but fans will have to wait to see if the leak contains the truth.
Rumors that the 2013 game would be remade first surfaced in June 2023, with more recent reports suggesting that the game would remove the original’s modern storylines.
Following rumors that the game would release before March 31, fans were hoping that the game would be officially revealed this month during Xbox’s Developer Direct.
Unfortunately, this was not the case and many now believe that the game could be abandoned. There is also speculation that the game may have been delayed following Ubisoft’s big shake-up last week which saw the cancellation of Prince of Persia: The Sands of Timeand five other games.
