Everything We Know About
Key Points:
- Ubisoft is releasing Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced, a full remake of the 2013 Black Flag, built from the ground up using technology from Assassin’s Creed Shadows (2025), with no reused code or assets from the original.
- The game launches on July 9 for PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC (Steam, Epic Store, Ubisoft Store), priced at $60 for the standard edition and $70 for a special edition with extra costumes and pre-order bonuses.
- The remake features the same 16km x 16km map size but adds new islands and denser exploration, along with approximately six hours of new content including missions, ship officers, cutscenes, and an expanded endgame.
- Key changes include the removal of modern-day segments and multiplayer, no RPG elements like skill trees or leveling, and exclusion of the Freedom Cry expansion, though some new content expands on Adewale’s story.
- Naval combat has been enhanced with more dynamic ocean conditions, destructible ships, new alternate fire modes, and improved ship battles, while Ubisoft confirms both the original and remake are canon and the original game will remain available in stores.
