Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag’s unexpected disappearance from the Steam store is down to nothing more exciting than a tech bug - and definitely isn’t a sign of an upcoming remake for the pirate entry in the stealth-action franchise.

      Probably because Black Flag is fucking revered and people would eat that shit up on the pedigree alone. It’s an open world pirate game, which doesn’t have much competition.

      AC3 stands to gain more from a remake, but it would require some good faith from the community to buy into it, and it’s not as unique of an overall experience from the initial premise compared to Black Flag which instantly forms a picture in your mind of a free booting high seas adventure with some light assassination.

        I’d kill for that game but more centered around pirating. Maybe have your own fleet with more ship customization and be able to take over and build a city on an island that becomes thriving over time and then have to defend from attacks by the British navy or something.
