About Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced
Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced is Ubisoft's ground-up remake of 2013's Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag, the entry many fans call the best in the series. It rebuilds the Caribbean open world of the golden age of piracy in the latest version of the Anvil Engine, with a full visual overhaul, reworked combat and new content. The remake is led by Ubisoft Singapore, the studio that first brought the original's naval gameplay to life, with returning developers.
Players once again take the helm as Edward Kenway, the Welsh privateer-turned-pirate-turned-Assassin, sailing his brig the Jackdaw between Havana, Nassau and Kingston. The game keeps Black Flag's signature loop of explosive ship-to-ship cannon battles, boarding raids, harpooning and underwater diving, while modernising the on-foot fighting with a new parry-driven melee system. A revamped notoriety and hunting economy rounds out the captain's pirate life.
Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced launches on July 9, 2026 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and PC. The countdown above ticks down to release day — add it to your own page to track exactly how many days, hours and minutes remain until you can raise the black flag again.
