That Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag sea shanty deluge was just down to “technical issues”, Ubisoft say

If you noticed Ubisoft’s official music YouTube channel suddenly flooded with a torrent of Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag sea shanties, you’re not alone. Fans and insiders alike started buzzing, wondering if this was a clever hint or a loud announcement about the long-rumored Black Flag remake. After all, whispers about a new version have been swirling for months, and recently a PEGI rating surfaced that seemed to back up those rumors.

But Ubisoft has now stepped in to clear the air. It turns out the ocean of sea shanties wasn’t some cryptic marketing move or a countdown to a big reveal. Instead, it was simply the result of technical issues behind the scenes. No secret messages in the melody, just a glitch that led to the mass reupload. While it’s a relief for those hoping for official confirmation to hold on a little longer, it’s also a good reminder that sometimes a sea of shanties is just that.
