Leaked PEGI Listing Suggests Black Flag Remake

A leaked listing on the Pan European Game Information (PEGI) website has provided the strongest indication yet that Ubisoft is developing a remake of its 2013 hit, Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag. The entry, titled Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced, appeared briefly on December 9 before being removed, carrying an 18+ rating for violence, strong language, and in-game purchases.

The original Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag launched on October 19, 2013, for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and Wii U, with later ports to other platforms.
