- A Ubisoft developer’s profile has officially confirmed the Assassin’s Creed 4 remake.
- This remake will offer gameplay changes, including adjustments to the combat system.
- The team is aiming for a next-gen rebirth of the classic title with this re-release.
Ubisoft is currently hard at work on multiple remakes for its biggest franchises, including Assassin’s Creed, Splinter Cell, and Prince of Persia. Among these remakes, Assassin’s Creed 4 may be the most exciting, with fans still praising the original to this day.
Many believe Assassin’s Creed 4 needs a graphical facelift and small improvements to bring it up to par with modern standards for a solid remake, but Ubisoft seems to have a different idea. New evidence suggests that Assassin’s Creed’s pirate adventure will be remade with multiple gameplay changes.
Why it matters: Significant gameplay changes in remakes are always controversial since developers going this route risk alienating the original fanbase.
Ubisoft previously confirmed multiple remakes for its flagship IP, but no specific title was confirmed. Assassin’s Creed 4 was only discussed in rumors, but a Ubisoft employee’s LinkedIn profile has finally made it official.
Looking at the profile, this remake is mentioned as one of the developer’s projects. The same profile also mentions new gameplay systems for the title, essentially confirming that Ubisoft is not making a one-to-one remake.
While the changes are unknown, the combat and wildlife ecosystems are mentioned as elements that will be revamped. This could potentially mean a combat system closer to modern entries of the series, including the RPG titles.
The developer also hopes that the remake of Assassin’s Creed 4 will be an outstanding next-gen rebirth of the AAA classic.
With Assassin’s Creed Shadows arriving in just over two months, fans can expect to hear more about the Assassin’s Creed 4 Remake at some point later this year. Perhaps the aforementioned gameplay changes will be elaborated upon by then, so fans should stay tuned for more details.
What are your thoughts on Ubisoft’s approach? Do you think the changes will be for the better? Let’s discuss this in the comments and on the Tech4Gamers Forums.
