An Amazon product page for an official Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Remaster art book has surfaced online, complete with a March 24 publication date.

The listing marks the latest retail leak pointing to a modern re-release of the 2013 pirate adventure. Ubisoft hasn’t publicly announced any Black Flag remaster or remake project.

Art books typically require months of production lead time and appear in retail databases as games approach their marketing phase. The presence of an ISBN-tracked companion book with official branding suggests the project is real and moving toward release.

Black Flag originally launched in 2013 for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC before hitting PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. The game centered on Edward Kenway sailing the Caribbean, mixing ship combat with traditional Assassin’s Creed stealth gameplay. It remains one of the franchise’s most beloved entries thanks to its naval warfare and open-world piracy setting.

The listing explicitly uses the word “Remaster” rather than “Remake.” Industry leaks and rumors have described the project both ways over recent months. Remasters typically involve resolution upgrades and texture improvements while remakes rebuild games from scratch with new assets. If the art book title reflects final branding, the project might be less transformative than some players expected.

Is March the real target?

The March 24 date could indicate the game’s launch window if Ubisoft plans to coordinate the art book with the title’s release. However, recent reports suggest some Ubisoft projects have faced internal delays. The art book date might reflect an older schedule that publishing partners locked in before any postponements.

Ubisoft has increasingly favored shorter announcement-to-release windows for certain titles, sometimes revealing games just weeks before launch. A surprise drop with minimal advance notice would explain why official confirmation remains absent despite mounting retail evidence.
