Ubisoft has scheduled a dedicated showcase for Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced on April 23, with the publisher confirming the livestream times as 5:00 PM BST / 6:00 PM CEST / 9:00 AM PT / 12:00 PM ET.
The announcement positions the project — billed variously as a remaster and a remake in community discussion — for a focused reveal that is expected to cover gameplay, platform support, and a release window.
In its announcement, Ubisoft reiterated a major historical milestone for the franchise: the original Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag has been played by more than 34 million players since its launch.
That figure underlines Black Flag's lasting popularity within the Assassin's Creed catalog and helps explain why the title is being revisited in a modernized form.
What to expect from the April 23 showcase
- Dedicated presentation: Ubisoft has designated the date and times above for a standalone reveal for Black Flag Resynced.
- Watch channels: The showcase will be available to watch live on Ubisoft's YouTube and Twitch channels.
- Focus areas: The presentation will likely cover gameplay footage, technical updates, platform availability, and an official release date.
Platform context and Nintendo history
Nintendo has hosted multiple Assassin's Creed releases on the Nintendo Switch platform.
Notably, Assassin's Creed II is available on Nintendo Switch as part of the Ezio Collection, which brought earlier entries in Ezio's storyline to Nintendo's handheld/home hybrid.
Whether Black Flag Resynced will land on Nintendo platforms — including discussion around the next-generation Switch hardware — is expected to be clarified during Ubisoft's showcase.
Why this matters
Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag remains one of the franchise's most commercially and critically successful entries, and Ubisoft's decision to highlight a modernized version with a dedicated livestream reflects the title's enduring appeal.
Developers and platform holders frequently use these focused showcases to confirm technical targets, platform lineups on services such as the Nintendo eShop, and release windows.
