Ubisoft has finally released its latest financial report, following a short delay to an accounting muck-up. In it, we found out that the Prince of Persia: Sands of Time remake is launching before the end of March, 2026. But according to the report and some new information, the Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag might be joining it. The financial report from Ubisoft lists several titles will be released before the end of the company’s Q4 period, which is March 31st. One of them is an “unannounced” title. Well, according to InsiderGaming, that unannounced project is the Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag remake. More importantly, though, InsiderGaming says that they understand the game “is scheduled to release the week of March 23rd.” At this point, the Black Flag remake has become an open secret within the industry, so it really has just become a cause of when and not if. At first, it seemed like the project would be a fairly straightforward remaster of one of Assassin’s Creed most beloved entries, but recent leaks have suggested it’s a much more involved remake. Back in September, for example, a website claimed to have got sent details of what to expect in the remake, and also stated they were hearing about a March 2026 release. According to the information, the remake will be running on the same engine as Assassin’s Creed: Shadows, will have the modern-day sections taken out and will even add in RPG elements to make it more like the modern Assassin’s Creed games. I love Black Flag, so some of these changes are baffling. Making it more like the modern games in the series is the last thing I could possibly want from the remake, so my hype for the remake has been tempered. Still, I am interested to see what it ends up being.

Kering to sell beauty unit to L’Oreal for $4.66 billion
Gucci owner Kering has agreed to sell its beauty business to L’Oréal for $4.66 billion, the company announced on Sunday. This move comes as the new CEO, Luca de Meo, aims to tackle the luxury group’s high debt and refocus on its core fashion business.
Under the deal, French beauty giant L’Oréal will acquire Kering’s fragrance line Creed, as well as the rights to develop products under Kering’s fashion labels Bottega Veneta and Balenciaga through a 50-year exclusive license.
The sale marks a significant step toward reducing Kering’s net debt, which stood at $10.5 billion at the end of June. This debt figure adds to $7 billion in long-term lease liabilities, a combination that has raised concerns among investors.
Kering has been struggling to reverse declining growth at its largest brand, Gucci, which has been hit hard by slowing demand in the key Chinese market. The partnership with L’Oréal is expected to help Kering streamline its focus and strengthen its financial position moving forward.
