Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced: A Faithful, Content-Packed Pirate Remake
Ubisoft’s Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced is a ground-up remake of the 2013 pirate adventure, rebuilt from the ground up on the same tech powering 2025’s Shadows. It launches July 9 on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC (Steam, Epic, Ubisoft store) with a standard $60 price and a $70 special edition. The 16km x 16km open world remains the same size but gains new islands and more dense exploration, plus about six hours of new content, updated ship combat, and an expanded endgame. It’s not an RPG—no skill trees or loot grind—and multiplayer is not included at launch. Modern-day segments are mostly removed (though some Animus moments remain), and Freedom Cry isn’t included, though there’s new content expanding Adewale’s story. Ubisoft says the remake is canon with the original, which remains purchasable alongside Resynced.
