Today, Ubisoft announced that the next installment in the Assassin’s Creed™ franchise, Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced, will release worldwide on July 9th, 2026. The game will be available on Ubisoft+*, PlayStation®5, Xbox Series X|S, as well as Windows PC through the Ubisoft Store, Steam, and the Epic Games Store.
Led by Ubisoft Singapore,** Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced is a faithful remake of Assassin’s Creed IV Black Flag, originally released in 2013. Rebuilt from the ground up and powered by the latest Anvil engine, the game features updated visuals and enriched gameplay, including parry‑driven combat, improved stealth and parkour, deeper naval mechanics, and new narrative content.
Set during the Golden Age of Piracy, Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced invites players to sail the Caribbean as Edward Kenway, a rebellious pirate captain drawn into the centuries-old conflict between Assassins and Templars. As Edward pursues glory and fortune, he crosses paths with legendary figures such as Blackbeard, Anne Bonny, and Calico Jack, while the fate of everything the pirates have built hangs in balance.
During the Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced Showcase, Ubisoft also confirmed that GRAMMY‑nominated artist Woodkid is returning to the Assassin’s Creed franchise, collaborating on a reimagined track to be revealed later this year.
The standard edition of the game will be available here for the price of $59.99 on PlayStation®5, Xbox Series X|S, as well as Windows PC through the Ubisoft Store, Steam, and the Epic Games Store.*** PC System requirements have been disclosed and can be referenced here.
