The remake removes the modern day and replaces them with more content in Edward’s pirate era (a few extra hours compared to the original)
Gameplay will shift closer to the RPG-style of newer AC games
Loot and gear stats for Edward
Inventory systems and combat leaning toward the RPG style rather than the choreographed combat of the original
No loading screens when moving between ship and land
Map is not bigger, but islands will be filled with more activities and side content
Expected to include cut content from the original, like parts of Mary Read’s storyline that were dropped in 2013
It’s not on the same “big budget remake” level as Resident Evil 2 or Silent Hill 2, but more of a faithful reimagining with updates
Uses Ubisoft’s new Anvil Pipeline engine (same as AC Shadows)
Release window: currently targeted for early 2026 (likely March), though some sources think it could slip to late 2026.
They are reusing some assets from Skull & Bones to cut costs, but it won’t be obvious to players.
