This article has a lot of room for expansion. Please improve it with additional information in accordance with the Manual of Style

Assassin's Creed: Black Flag Resynced is an upcoming 2026 action-adventure video game in the Assassin's Creed series. A remake of the 2013 video game Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag, it is being developed by Ubisoft Singapore and is set to be released on 9 July 2026 for Microsoft Windows, Xbox Series X/S, and PlayStation 5.

Gameplay[edit | edit source]

Black Flag Resynced has been remade from the ground up using the latest Anvil engine, resulting in improved graphics in addition to the added story content. The combat is more closely based on that of the 2025 game Assassin's Creed: Shadows, with enhanced lighting and high-res textures. The parkour has also been revamped and updated, and the eavesdropping missions have been modified to no longer immediately desynchronize if spotted.[1] Naval combat aboard the Jackdaw has also been expanded, with new armaments and their respective skills that must also account for a new dynamic weather system,[2] and three new officers for the Jackdaw have also been added to the game, each with their own unique origin missions.[3] Pets can also be found and brought aboard the player's ship.[4]

Synopsis[edit | edit source]

A RENEWED AND ENHANCED EXPERIENCE
The iconic solo pirate adventure returns. Sail the Caribbean as Edward Kenway during the Golden Age of Piracy in this faithfully enhanced remake featuring stunning visuals, upgraded gameplay, and new content.

THE CARIBBEAN LIKE NEVER BEFORE
Whether you're sailing the open seas or journeying across untamed lands, discover a seamless open world built with the latest Anvil engine. Take in sweeping vistas as you brave stormy waters, dive into underwater shipwrecks, or push through dense tropical jungles. Enhanced by features such as Dolby Atmos and ray tracing, every scene feels more immersive, bringing the world's beauty to life.

BECOME A FEARSOME PIRATE
Strike fear in your foes as you board and sink enemy vessels as Edward Kenway, captain of the Jackdaw. Whether blending into crowds or leading daring assaults, switch between silent takedowns and fierce brawls as you effortlessly wield swords & pistols. With a cast of historical pirate legends at your side, defy empires amidst the age-old conflict opposing Assassins and Templars.

EXPANDING EDWARD'S ADVENTURE
Building on top of the original story, Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced introduces exclusive new content. Familiar faces will return, with new storylines dedicated to fan-favorite characters such as Blackbeard and Stede Bonnet. Unexpected allies will also cross your path, as three officers join you on your journey as part of the main narrative. More surprises await, such as new sea shanties, pets, a photo mode, and more.[5]

Development[edit | edit source]

In a June 2024 interview with Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot, published to the Ubisoft website, multiple remakes of Assassin's Creed games were stated to be in the works.[6][7] Fueled by long-standing rumors, Resynced's existence was proven by a PEGI rating listing in December 2025.[8] In March 2026, Resynced was officially confirmed by Ubisoft with the reveal of a piece of concept artwork of protagonist Edward Kenway and the new logo.[9] Development was headed primarily by Ubisoft Singapore, the same studio behind Ubisoft's 2024 video game Skull and Bones.[10]

Release[edit | edit source]

Originally slated for a release before the 2025-2026 fiscal year, it was pushed into the following financial year after the March 2026 reveal.[9] Following the official April 2026 reveal, the game was announced to release on 9 July 2026.[4]

Marketing[edit | edit source]

Ubisoft officially revealed Black Flag Resynced on 24 April 2026 with a worldwide reveal showcase,[11] game overview trailer narrated by Matt Ryan,[12] and a world premiere trailer.[13] Prior to the showcase, Ubisoft began releasing a series of teasers on social medias featuring Kenway,[14] Blackbeard,[15] Adéwalé,[16] Anne Bonny,[17] and the Jolly Roger flag.[18] Ubisoft also announced Matt Ryan's return on their socials a few hours before the showcase.[19]
