The official name for Ubisoft’s upcoming and long awaited remake of the highly acclaimed Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag has been revealed and it’s called ‘Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced’ as it’s now visible on the PEGI European ratings board website, which means the name is pretty much official. Although at the time of this writing, the entry on the site is unavailable which indicates it’s been possibly removed by Ubisoft and the publisher could announce the name in the near future.
The name makes sense in a lot of ways as the term ‘synchronization’ is a staple and an integral gameplay aspect in the Assassin’s Creed games which require the player to ‘sync’ their in-game actions with the memory contained in the characters’ DNA. And as you may have already completed the original Black Flag, the upcoming remake will have you ‘resync’ all of your progress from the ground up.
Also, according to an earlier report from Insider Gaming, the upcoming remake could launch during the week of March 23, 2026.
Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced has also been rated 18 for it’s use of violence and bad language, which is really on par with the original release. It’s also revealed that the upcoming title will enable players to make in-game purchases possibly in the form of DLCs which indicates the original game’s Freedom Cry campaign may also be part of the remake offering.
The upcoming Remake will also reportedly contain a significantly overhauled combat system with an emphasize on RPG mechanics and gears that lean heavily into the more modern entries of the series like the post-Assassin’s Creed Origins batch of titles. However, the Black Flag Remake is also reported to cut out the modern day segments which were present in the original game, a move that’s sure to upset many players as those missions had a significant impact on the overarching narrative of the franchise and connected the past events with the present day happenings.
While at the same time, the Remake is reported to include bonus story contents to the Edward Kenway sections such as additional story missions focused on pirate Mary Read which didn’t make it to the original Black Flag in 2013.
