The Steam database for Ubisoft’s action-adventure game, Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag, has dropped further hints regarding the existence of a remake.
According to the Steam Database update history for Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag, the game has recently been updated with brand new features that aren’t part of the original game, suggesting that it may have something to do with the previously rumored remake. The update took place on July 8, 2025, adding features including Custom Volume Controls, Stereo Sound, Surround Sound, Mouse Only Option, Adjustable Difficulty, and more.
List Of New Features For Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag On Steam
The features added to the Steam Database for Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag can be seen below.
- Custom Volume Controls
- Stereo Sound
- Surround Sound
- Mouse Only Option
- Adjustable Difficulty
- Save Anytime
None of the above mentioned features are present in the original title, suggesting that they may be part of a larger overhaul. If they are indeed planned to be included with the rumored remake, this would imply that the original Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag will be replaced by the new version, which is something advocates of game preservation will certainly not appreciate.
Last month, during a convention in Rosemont, Illinois, Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag voice actor Matt Ryan, who played the role of protagonist Edward Kenway, teased the possibility of the game receiving a remake. While signing his autograph on the packaging of the character’s Funko Pop for a fan, Ryan asked the latter if they have beaten the game. The fan responded by saying that they have indeed played through Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag, though it was a long while ago. In response, Matt said that they may have to beat it again. The fan agreed, saying that they need to run through all entries in the series again. However, Ryan clarified that he was especially referring to Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag. He added that there’s a reason he said that, but he was unable to say anything.
