- A new one Assassin’s Creed Black Flag 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 a picture of the famous GTA San Andreas meme that reads: “Ah s***, here we go again”
Ubisoft has officially acknowledged the ongoing Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag rekindling rumors in a rather unconventional way after another leak appeared online.
For years there have been reports that a modern remake of Black Flag has been under way, with new leaks emerging every other month to keep the rumor mill alive. A fan has apparently uncovered a domain registered to Assassin’s Creed Black Flag resync recently and it was claimed that the game would launch before March 31st.
Now, the latest leak in the long-running story appears to include a collectible statue Black Flag‘s protagonist Edward Kenway, who appeared for sale on the recycling app Vinted (via IGN).
X / Twitter user ‘TheRealZephryss’ shared images of the statue and wrote: “This could be the new Edward Kenway figure for Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Remake. A guy on Vinted is selling a brand new Edward Kenway figure claiming it’s coming out this year.”
Usually, rumors and leaks are typically ignored by game developers and publishers, but it looks like Ubisoft may be leaning into the speculation.
In response to the post, the official said Assassin’s Creed account shared the iconic screenshot from Grand Theft Auto San Andreaswhich has now been turned into a viral meme showing the game’s Carl Johnson saying, “Ah s***, here we go again.”

Is this verification that a Black Flag is the remake coming? Or is Ubisoft simply playing into the ongoing rumors? Either way, we have no official confirmation yet, so hold on to your pirate hats.
As IGN notes, however, the statue’s appearance follows a hint from collectibles company Pure Arts, who suggested last year that it was working on something for Black Flag and that it would appear in the not-too-distant future because “there’s something going on.”
Close-ups of the statue actually 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 holds any truth.
Rumors of the 2013 game being remade first surfaced in June 2023, with more recent reports suggesting that the game will reportedly remove the original’s modern plot lines.
After rumors that the game would be released before March 31st, fans were hoping that the game would be officially revealed this month during Xbox’s Developer Direct.
Unfortunately, that was not the case and now many believe that the game could be shadowed. There is also speculation that the game has been delayed following Ubisoft’s major shake-up last week, when the cancellation of Prince of Persia: The Sands of Timeand five more games.
