Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag was recently taken down from Steam, causing various rumors and speculation to arise. However, the actual reason behind the game's unavailability for purchase is not as thrilling. In a statement to PCGamesN, a Ubisoft spokesperson explained that the removal was due to a technical issue. Ubisoft further stated that their teams are actively working on resolving the issue to restore the game on Steam at the earliest opportunity.
The Black Flag page is still live on Steam, but the game is currently unavailable for purchase. There is no information regarding when it will be back on the market.
Speculations have surfaced about a potential remake of Black Flag. Fans are curious if Ubisoft's decision to remove Assassin's Creed III in conjunction with the release of Assassin's Creed III Remastered indicates a similar situation here.
The upcoming installment in the Assassin's Creed series is Assassin's Creed Mirage, scheduled for release in October. Following that, players can expect Assassin's Creed Nexus VR to be launched by the end of 2023. Additionally, there are numerous upcoming Assassin's Creed games that will be part of the Assassin's Creed Infinity project. Furthermore, a brand-new Assassin's Creed game is currently in development exclusively for Netflix.
