Assassin’s Creed Black Flag remake is expected to be revealed next week!
From the latest rumors and reports, Ubisoft’s future roadmap is starting to take place, but not without some development struggles and challenges. The new reports suggest that a new title entry in Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon franchise might be the next big Ubisoft game after Assassin’s Creed Black Flag remake.
Meanwhile, the Black Flag remake is expected to be revealed on April 23, 2026. Let’s check out more details in this article.
Ghost Recon set to lead Ubisoft’s next phase
According to Tom Henderson from the Insider Gaming podcast, Ubisoft seems to be developing a mainline Ghost Recon title, which is under the codename of “OVR.”
This game is also expected to launch sometime in FY 2026-2027, marking it as the next big game from Ubisoft after the Assassin’s Creed Black Flag remake, which is currently scheduled for July 9, 2026.
However, the reports suggest that the situation is far from stable. This project is already facing internal struggles and challenges. There are also chances that it could get delayed or scaled back due to recent layoffs and restructuring within Ubisoft Studios.
Far Cry projects are facing issues
For Far Cry projects, things are even more uncertain for this franchise. The latest report suggests that Ubisoft is currently working on two Far Cry projects.
This includes a mainline sequel, aka Far Cry 7 and another is a multiplayer-focused extraction shooter.
The reports suggest that both projects are said to be “going through hell and back,” with the ongoing development struggles and design overhauls.
The extraction shooter, specifically, has seemingly been under development since early 2025, meaning that its gameplay direction can undergo a radical shift before its release.
The core Far Cry franchise will probably be based on multiplayer mode and possibly in a New England-themed setting, but official information has not been announced yet.
Splinter Cell remake also faces a delay
If you were waiting for Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell Remake, then you might need to be more patient. It appears that this remake has also been internally delayed and is unlikely to be released next year.
On the other hand, the Rayman Legends remake is said to be progressing very well behind the scenes.
Conclusion
The new Ubisoft strategy appears to be strengthening the core franchises, but there already seems to be facing internal delays, development struggles and challenges.
For now, the company seems to be ready to reveal the Assassin’s Creed Black Flag remake and then it may shift their focus towards other projects.
