The sunset of online services for these older Assassin’s Creed games occurs shortly after the debut of the franchise’s latest installment, Assassin’s Creed Mirage. Released earlier this month, this game brings the iconic stealth action gameplay of the series to the Middle East during the Islamic Golden Age. Reviews of Assassin’s Creed Mirage have generally been positive, with many players and critics feeling that the game harks back to the franchise’s earlier entries, for better or worse. However, some fans have criticized the writing for the game’s main character, Basim, as being somewhat bland.
As Ubisoft prepares to say farewell to many of its older games, one particular Assassin’s Creed game has become the subject of numerous rumors. Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag has been frequently rumored to be a potential candidate for a remake, with leaks and Ubisoft’s recent moves hinting at something exciting in the works. The recent delisting of Black Flag from Steam has sparked speculation that a full remake may be on the horizon. Ubisoft’s announcement to sunset these games will see the company part ways with its older titles, but it also leaves gamers wondering about the potential for new entries in the future.
