Assassin’s Creed 4 Remake To Feature Gameplay Similar To Modern AC Titles

Expert Verified By

Don't Expect A Big Budget Remake Like Resident Evil 2!

Story Highlight
  • New details regarding Assassin’s Creed 4 Remake have emerged from reliable sources.
  • The game is said to feature combat and gear similar to that of the RPG Assassin’s Creed titles.
  • Ubisoft is also removing modern-day segments and adding more side content to the remake.

Assassin’s Creed 4 is all but confirmed to be Ubisoft’s first remake for its long-running flagship series. The Black Flag remake has already been leaked by a voice actor, and several teasers have also shown up online.

Although details about the re-release remain slim for the time being, a former Ubisoft employee previously teased various gameplay changes. It seems these changes will bring the fan-favorite title closer to modern Assassin’s Creed RPGs.

Why it matters: Fans have been very curious about Ubisoft’s approach to the remake ever since rumors about the title first showed up online.

According to Jeux Video Magazine, a reliable source for Assassin’s Creed games, Assassin’s Creed 4 Remake will completely do away with the modern sections. Instead, Ubisoft will add more content to the Edward gameplay segments, balancing out the story’s overall length.

It is said that gameplay will be closer to the RPG era of Assassin’s Creed, with loot and gear now having stats for Edward Kenway as opposed to serving as mostly cosmetic upgrades.

Combat is also said to be closer to the RPG games compared to the original counter-based system of the Kenway trilogy. This change could add a new layer of challenge to the combat.

It is said that Ubisoft’s approach will differ from remakes like Capcom’s Resident Evil 2. The French gaming giant will reportedly focus more on reimagining the title with a somewhat modest budget.

Other details from the source suggest Ubisoft is adding more side content and activities to the islands. The studio also appears to have eliminated loading screens when transitioning from land to sea.

Although Ubisoft has yet to announce the game, rumblings suggest the team is aiming for a 2026 launch. If the report is to be believed, the game will arrive at some point during the first quarter of next year.

What do you make of this information? Do you think these changes will be good for Assassin’s Creed 4? Let’s discuss in the comments and on the Tech4Gamers Forums.
