It started as a rather innocuous comment on Resetera by BlackBate, who said that the announcement was “planned to go live on the 16th.” An event is also apparently set for later in April, and the release is “not far away.” Insider Gaming’s Tom Henderson followed up by noting that he had also heard of a reveal on April 16th, with previous reports from the site’s podcast claiming “mid-April.”

And if that isn’t definitive enough (at least as far as rumors go), NateTheHate also claimed that it’s on the same day. Could it have some connection to the rumored State of Play, which is allegedly third-party focused? He’s not sure. As such, you should assume they’re two separate things…unless Resynced suddenly appears on Sony’s showcase with a release date.

Could it launch sometime in the coming months? It’s not impossible, although with Ubisoft stating that it delayed an unannounced title from the current fiscal year to 2027, one has to wonder if that’s the case. Either way, we’ll find out in the coming week, so stay tuned for more details.

In the meantime, you can check out Assassin’s Creed Shadows, which received a patch for Upgraded PSSR support on PS5 Pro. Switch 2 players can even utilize a mouse and keyboard to play the open-world action RPG.

Jean Guesdon, head of content at Ubisoft’s Vantage Studios, said, “What matters most to us is giving each project the time it deserves and releasing them when they are ready.” And while repeating the classic Assassin’s Creed phrase, he made an exception in the case of Resynced. “Some whispers have a little more wind in their sails. Keep your spyglass on the horizon.”

And that’s it. No word on a release date or the rumored reveal in April. Honestly, as far as announcements go, this is probably the best way to do it – a sudden drop to leave fans wanting more.

Of course, several alleged details have been circulating for a while now. The modern-day segments set in Abstergo have reportedly been cut, with new quests and activities seemingly added. Loading screens are also apparently toast, and fans can seemingly look forward to the restoration of cut content. It’s also allegedly taking cues from the weather effects in Assassin’s Creed Shadows while delivering improvements to the map.

Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced is allegedly set to launch in March, but following Ubisoft’s massive organizational shuffle, it was internally delayed. As always, we’ll need to wait for more details, but at least it’s finally real.

Insider Gaming’s Mike Straw reported in the recent weekly podcast that it’s still in development and could be revealed sometime in April. It matches a rumor by insider shinobi602, who revealed that the remake wouldn’t be at State of Play (which was correct) and that a reveal was “not too far off.” Apparently, a release date has also been set, but time will tell if it’s actually next year.

Perhaps one of the worst-kept secrets in contemporary gaming, rumors began circulating about the Black Flag Remake as early as July 2023. Throughout 2025, several more hints would drop, from voice actor Matt Ryan (who voices Edward Kenway) teasing the same to a rating by PEGI, which seemingly confirmed its name as Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced.

It was allegedly to launch on March 19th before Ubisoft hit the big reset button. Thus far, rumors have claimed several changes, including weather effects similar to Assassin’s Creed Shadows, new content, no modern-day Animus sections, and an improved map.

It was allegedly going to go gold in the first week of February and launch on March 19th, available only via digital storefronts. Now, it’s seemingly launching in 2027. Why did this happen? Henderson doesn’t know, but replied, “In hindsight, it could have been full of bugs, which is why they have delayed it. So it sucks short-term, but it will be better when it releases.”

Allegedly titled Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag Resynced, rumors of a remake first surfaced in 2023, and it was reportedly set to release in 2025 before the delay of Shadows. Play Arts artists and actor Matt Ryan, who voiced Edward Kenway in the original, both teased its existence last year, and further rumors claimed that it would have new content.

But while the promise of an improved map and weather effects from Shadows seemed nice, it would also apparently do away with the modern-day sections, which some fans took umbrage with. A rating from PEGI, and it seemed only a matter of time before an announcement. Unfortunately, all that’s left to do now is wait and hope it doesn’t get axed.

And while there could be doubts about its legitimacy, they confirmed that GANDI SAS is responsible for the same. The registrar is seemingly responsible for registering domains for Far Cry, Assassin’s Creed, Splinter Cell and many more such Ubisoft IPs. Interestingly enough, it was created one day before the Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Remake’s domain was established.

Perhaps there’s news coming soon for both titles, potentially at the next Xbox Developer_Direct (which has yet to receive an air date). Of course, Ubisoft could casually announce the same, especially since it’s avoided hosting its own showcases and attending shows like Summer Game Fest or The Game Awards.

Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced is reportedly a sweeping remake of the 2013 classic, offering revamped visuals (including weather effects seen in Assassin’s Creed Shadows), no loading screens and fresh content. It’s also missing the modern-day sections, keeping the focus entirely on Edward Kenway and his exploits.
