Ubisoft has responded to the recent stir caused by the upload of music from Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag, attributing it to “technical issues.” However, it seems a bit too coincidental that this happened right when rumors are swirling about a potential remake of the beloved game. Honestly, at this point, the supposed Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag remake feels like one of the worst-kept secrets in gaming—I’m half-convinced it’s all an elaborate ruse. We’ve seen web domains, age ratings, hints from voice actors, and even statue makers leak information; it really feels like the only thing missing is an official announcement.
Earlier this week, the company seemingly got in on the leaks themselves by uploading 18 sea shanties from the 2013 title to their music-centric YouTube channel. But don’t worry; they quickly released a statement claiming it was just a “nothing to see here” situation. On the Ubisoft Music community page, a note read, “Hi there music lovers! We encountered some technical issues with a few of our videos, which we had to reupload. Apologies for the trouble, and hope you enjoy the music.”
Naturally, fans are skeptical. Many have voiced their disbelief on social media. One person quipped, “We don’t believe you! Coincidence releasing Black Flag music? I think not!” Another chimed in to highlight the absurdity of the situation, suggesting, “They trynna hide resynced after so many leaks is literally hilarious.” Meanwhile, impatience is palpable among the fanbase, with one frustrated response stating, “Bullshit. Announce the remake.” I’m sure whoever manages the Ubisoft Music channel is just itching to spill the beans.
With all the chatter and leaked hints, it feels like an announcement could be just around the corner. Will we finally get the reveal that fans have been clamoring for? Only time will tell.
