Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag was recently removed from Steam, prompting all kinds of rumors and speculation. But the real reason the game is no longer available to buy is far less exciting.

Speaking to PCGamesN, a spokesperson for the company said this was "due to a technical issue." Ubisoft added: "Our teams are working on a solution to bring it back as soon as possible.".

The Black Flag page on Steam is still online, but the game cannot be purchased at this time. There is no word yet on when Black Flag might be available for purchase again.
