There has yet to be an official announcement for an Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag remake, but the biggest hint of its existence may have been leaked on a Pure Arts livestream.
As reported by Insider Gaming, the stream happened back in March when the merchandising company revealed new ⅛ scale statues of characters from the Assassin's Creed series, though fans soon pointed out the absence of Edward Kenway from Black Flag.
At this, there appeared to be confusion as one of the hosts replied, "Assassin’s Creed fans out there, you should be aware that there is something going on with Edward [Keyway],” only for the other host to interrupt and ask, "Wait, has that been announced?"
The host continues, “I think so, I’m pretty sure I saw rumors about it. No, I definitely saw at article about it … So there’s going to be something going on with Edward, and our PVC ⅛ scale statue will reflect that accordingly."
From the confusion in this exchange, it would suggest that a statue is not being made yet because the character's appearance has been changed in a remake.
If the remake is coming, it's not clear whether Ubisoft will be announcing it at Summer Game Fest as Ubisoft Forward is not taking place this year. The publisher is however confirmed to have an appearance at the PC Gaming Show.
Rumors of a remake of the 2013 game had been swirling back in 2023, where the project was still reportedly in early development, while Skull and Bones developer Ubisoft Singapore was said to be heavily involved.

Something big is definitely happening regarding the Assassin's Creed Black Flag Remake.
The people at Pure Arts unveiled a new collection of figures, but the EDWARD one was missing.
