You might have noticed that the Assassin's Creed Black Flag Steam page no longer allows you to actually purchase the beloved Assassin's Creed Black Flag creator Ubisoft says this is not the case.
Back in June, sudden disappearance of Black Flag from Steam, it felt like something might have been cooking.
In a statement to PCGamesN exclusively, Ubisoft confirms that Black Flag has been pulled from sale on Steam for – unfortunately – somewhat less exciting reasons. "We are aware that Assassin's Creed Black Flag is currently unavailable for purchase on Steam," the developer says. "This is due to a technical issue, and our teams are working on a solution to bring it back as soon as possible."
Ubisoft does not offer a potential return date for Assassin's Creed Black Flag, but with the series set for a serious push courtesy of Mirage, Infinity, Red, and also the mysterious Codename Hexe, we hope an AC4 remaster is on the horizon, too – you just can't beat those wonderful sea shanties.
