Black Flag Resynced – Ubisoft is believed to be getting ready to reveal the long-rumored remake of Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag. In March, the studio revealed concept art from the remake and suggested the game was coming soon. According to a new report, the remake, whose official title is Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag Resynced, will be released on July 9, 2026.

An Assassin’s Creed Black Flag remake will be coming out soon, Insider Gaming reported on Thursday. The Black Flag remake was scheduled to release on April 16 before Ubisoft decided to push the announcement to the following week. According to the report, Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag Resynced will be released on PC and consoles on July 9.

Ubisoft has not yet announced the game and its release date, but now the official announcement is expected next week. The report also sheds some light on the Black Flag remake. The game has reportedly been “completely redesigned” and will include new content and updates.

Importantly, the report says, Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag Resynced will not be an RPG. Recent games in the series, including last year’s Assassin’s Creed Shadows, were expansive open-world RPGs. The exception was 2024’s Assassin’s Creed Mirage, which featured a smaller open world and removed RPG mechanics to pay homage to older games in the series.

The Black Flag remake will also be a “solo adventure and character-driven experience,” Ubisoft reportedly said in a presentation attended by Insider Gaming. “This is not an RPG. ” A report last year claimed that the Black Flag remake would feature RPG mechanics and launch in early 2026.

Additionally, the game is said to get improvements to combat, loading times, and more. Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag was initially released in 2013 on PS3 and Xbox 360.

The game follows the story of pirate Edward Kenway in the West Indies in the early 1700s, tracing his journey as he becomes involved in the conflict between the Assassins and the Templars. Black Flag featured exploration and naval combat missions on the high seas.
