Ubisoft has announced Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced, a faithful remake of Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag in Ubisoft’s updated Anvil Engine. Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced launches on July 9 for $59.99 on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
The upcoming remake boasts an impressive new visual style and completely reworked gameplay, harkening back to the series’ roots. Despite previous rumors, this will not be an RPG similar to the likes of Assassin’s Creed Shadows. However, Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced will not include the Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag’s multiplayer or Freedom Cry DLC expansion when it launches this July. It is unknown if the latter will be available at a later date.

A Collector’s Edition of Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced will be available for $199.99, and pre-orders are available now at retailers. The Collector’s Edition includes the full game, exclusive SteelBook, Edward’s metal brooch, a 12-inch Edward Kenway statue, a cloth world map, Edward’s log-book, a sea shanty music sheet, and new digital content, including the Master Assassin Character Pack, Master Assassin Naval Pack, and Blackbeard’s Crimson Pack.
Assassin’s Creed Shadows, the latest entry in the series, is available now on Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam, Epic Games Store, and Ubisoft Store. The game includes several updated features, including PSSR 2 support on PlayStation 5 Pro and mouse and keyboard support for the Nintendo Switch 2 version.
