Ubisoft has reaffirmed its commitment to revisiting iconic franchises with the upcoming release of "Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced," an enhanced remake of the critically acclaimed "Assassin’s Creed Black Flag." The new title emerged thanks to a recent age rating from PEGI, Europe’s game content rating authority, effectively confirming the project’s official name and signaling a forthcoming public reveal.
Originally launched in 2013, "Assassin’s Creed Black Flag" is celebrated for redefining open-world naval adventure gameplay and delivering a rich pirate-era narrative.
The title quickly became a fan favorite within the Assassin’s Creed series, noted for its immersive Caribbean setting and protagonist Edward Kenway.
Since its debut on platforms such as PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and the Nintendo Wii U, "Black Flag" has sold millions of copies worldwide and received subsequent ports to modern platforms, including the Nintendo Switch via the eShop. For years, industry insiders and fans alike have speculated about a comprehensive remake of "Black Flag," and reports surfaced suggesting Ubisoft’s ongoing development of the project.
The recent PEGI rating, however, offers the first concrete proof that the remake—now officially called "Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced"—is nearing release.
While Ubisoft has previously updated older titles for new hardware platforms, the "Resynced" moniker hints at a modernized overhaul designed to leverage the capabilities of systems such as the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X. Ubisoft, known for its enduring support of the Assassin’s Creed franchise, has not yet publicly commented on the specifics of "Black Flag Resynced." However, industry expectations are focusing on an official announcement during the widely watched Game Awards event in December 2025.
Historically, The Game Awards has served as a venue for major industry reveals, with Ubisoft often using the stage to announce or debut high-profile projects. In a statement reflective of the company's continued dedication to quality, Ubisoft representatives have emphasized the importance of revisiting beloved franchises with the aim of enhancing them for both veteran fans and a new generation of players.
The original "Black Flag" was praised for its innovative mechanics and storytelling depth, attributes Ubisoft is expected to further augment in the upcoming remake. With "Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced" set to bring modern graphics, reworked gameplay, and improved performance to current consoles, anticipation is mounting among series enthusiasts.
The recent PEGI rating is a clear marker that Ubisoft’s much-rumored remake is on the horizon, with more details likely to be shared during The Game Awards 2025. Stay tuned for updates as w
