Despite rumors initially pointing to a reveal happening today, a new report from Insider-Gaming points to Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced getting its full reveal next week. But most importantly, the report claims that we have a release date to look forward to for the upcoming remake. Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced will reportedly launch on July 9, 2026. This comes after Ubisoft reportedly held a private presentation for content creators and select members of the press today, ahead of next week's full public reveal. It's unfortunate, of course, that today's reveal was seemingly postponed, but all signs are pointing […]

Due to the public nature of video game ratings boards, we’ve gotten various details on a ton of different unannounced and in-development titles over the years. As such, it comes as little surprise that in anticipation of Ubisoft’s proper unveiling of the long-rumoured Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced remake, another games rating board has given us our first ‘official’ set of details.

As discovered by ResetEra user ‘nicoreese’, the Indonesian Game Rating Board (IGRSDB) recently published a listing for Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced. Alongside an 18+ rating and a 2026 release year (as well as confirmation that the remake will be limited to the PS5, Series X|S and PC), the board published a brief description for the game which reads as follows:

“This title breathes new life into a fan favourite while remaining carefully faithful to the spirit of the original. It follows the story of charismatic pirate and Assassin Edward Kenway as he adventures through 18th Century Caribbean with parkours in cities, and battles at seas, in search of fortune and glory. Modernized in 2026, the new game includes a cast of new characters and stories.”

While relatively vague in specifics (understandably so), the fact that Resynced will feature “a cast” of new characters and stories suggests that Ubisoft will be fleshing out the game’s narrative in one form or another.

This lines up somewhat with previous rumours which claimed that the remake would offer “more content in Edward’s pirate era” – although according to the same report Black Flag’s modern day segments are being removed.

Regardless, it seems quite clear that this remake will be more than just a basic visual overhaul, with perhaps the most unlikely addition (new story content) being all-but-confirmed. It will be interesting to learn more about the game officially in the lead up to its expected August 2026 release.

IO Interactive's upcoming James Bond action-adventure, 007 First Light, is weeks away from its arrival on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S (its Nintendo Switch 2 version was delayed). But you can already go see how the game ends if you want to find it, as a new report from VGC reveals that what appears to be the last hour of the game's story, along with significant spoilers for other unreleased games, have leaked online thanks to the Indonesian Games Ratings System (IGRS). Gameplay footage sent to the IGRS by IO Interactive, so the IGRS could give 007 First Light […]

The Assassin's Creed Black Flag Remake, officially titled Assassin's Creed Black Resynced was finally confirmed to be real by Ubisoft last month as part of a larger update on the Assassin's Creed franchise. But even then, after years of leaks and rumors, all we got from Ubisoft was a piece of concept art just to confirm it was real. Thankfully though, a new report from Insider-Gaming indicates we'll get so see a lot more than just some concept art at an imminent reveal. According to both Insider-Gaming's own sources and a user on ResetEra called BlackBate, the former of which […]

We've been hearing about the Assassin's Creed Black Flag remake for a couple of years now. Ubisoft has even hinted at the rumours being true themselves. Now, a new leak claims that the game will be revealed as soon as next week. 

This isn't the first time we've heard a rumour about this game being officially announced. Previously, it had been claimed that the game would be revealed at The Game Awards last December, but the show came and went with no announcement to be found.

Over on Resetera, a user who claims to have ties to Ubisoft has said that the Black Flag Remake will be announced on April 16th. Insider Gaming has seen documentation that suggests the game will release by the end of August this year, so a reveal now is feasible, but Ubisoft is known for its delays at this point, so it wouldn't be surprising to see the game pushed back a bit either.

With that said, if Ubisoft wants this game to stand a chance, it needs to release before November 2026, as the rest of the year will be entirely dominated by Grand Theft Auto 6.

KitGuru Says: Do you think the Black Flag remake will succeed? 

For quite some time now we’ve been hearing that Ubisoft is working on a full blown remake of their fan-favourite Assassin’s Creed Black Flag. With multiple in-development projects being cancelled at Ubisoft recently however, the game’s future was somewhat unknown. In a surprise franchise update, Ubisoft have now officially confirmed that a Black Flag remake is in the works – though details still remain sparse.

As part of a blog post detailing the future of the Assassin’s Creed franchise in the wake of its recent developer shake-ups, Ubisoft took time to tease what we’ve ‘known’ for a while: that a remake of Assassin’s Creed Black Flag is in the works, writing:

“Speculation around Assassin's Creed is not new, but it's worth repeating: ‘Nothing is true. Everything is permitted.’ Well, except in this case, some whispers have a little more wind in their sails. Keep your spyglass on the horizon.”

Alongside this teaser, the team shared the first piece of concept art for the remake, confirming that it will be called AC: Black Flag Resynced.

As mentioned, we’ve gotten a bunch of different leaks over the years discussing various aspects of this remake. As noted however, the company has recently undergone a great deal of restructuring, and so it’s likely that Resynced could be quite different from how previous leaks described it.

We will have to wait and see, but finally, Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced is officially real and coming at some point in the future. The full blogpost, including the confirmation that AC: Unity is getting a 60fps patch on console, can be found HERE.

Ubisoft has provided a major update on what's coming next in the Assassin's Creed franchise as we near the one-year anniversary of its last major release, Assassin's Creed Shadows. Firstly, we can finally stop calling the Assassin's Creed Black Flag Remake a 'rumoured' game, because Ubisoft has finally officially confirmed the remake to be on its way and that it is indeed titled 'Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced,' which was the title that leaked in December 2025. In a blog post on the official Ubisoft website titled 'Assassin's Creed: Into 2026,' recently named head of AC content, Jean Guesdon, appears […]
