Assassin’s Creed Fans Are Demanding Ubisoft Reveal Black Flag Resynced

by

Fans are eagerly awaiting the official announcement of Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced, the remake of Ubisoft’s popular pirate adventure featuring Captain Edward Kenway. A surge of posts on social media shows just how excited people are for the Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag remake, and it’s shaping up to be one of the most anticipated games coming out in early 2026.

For years, there have been rumors about a remake of Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag. These rumors gained new traction in the summer of 2025 when a video surfaced of actor Matt Ryan, who voiced Edward Kenway, hinting that players “may have to beat it again.” Several leaks also suggested the game was in development, even pinpointing a release before the end of March 2026. This timeline appeared to be confirmed when the European game rating system, PEGI, listed Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced, aligning with Ubisoft’s plans for an unannounced release in that period. Despite the potential launch being just a few months away, Ubisoft hasn’t officially announced the remake, leaving fans anxiously awaiting more information and a first look at the updated game.

Assassin’s Creed Fans Are Hungry for Black Flag Resynced

Many fans still consider Black Flag, released in late October 2013, to be one of the best Assassin’s Creed games. It offers a diverse experience, letting players engage in naval combat, traditional stealth and assassination missions, and open-world activities like fishing and diving. This continued popularity has led to a surge of posts on social media requesting a remake or continuation of the game. A recent tweet from the official Assassin’s Creed account, asking players to pick their favorite game setting, saw many responding with requests to revisit the Caribbean world of Black Flag instead.

After recent leaks suggested a remake of Black Flag, many fans hoped to see a trailer at The Game Awards 2025, but it never appeared. This has frustrated many who believed the rumors and are eager for a first glimpse of the game, leading them to question why Ubisoft is delaying the official reveal. A recurring image in online discussions is the White Rabbit from Alice in Wonderland, symbolizing fans’ feeling that time is running out for Ubisoft to finally show them what they’ve been waiting for.

Fans are excited about the game’s connection to real pirates, which was a big part of its original inspiration. A project called Black Flag Resynced might include content about the pirate Mary Read that was cut from the 2013 game. Players are sharing their favorite historical pirates featured in the game, and one fan jokingly threatened to drink a bottle of rum each day until Ubisoft officially announces the new content.

Ubisoft still has chances to officially reveal Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced, and many fans are hoping to see it at the Xbox Developer Direct on January 22nd. While there’s no official word yet on which systems it will be released on, rumors suggest it could come to PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC. The recent deal between Xbox Game Pass and Ubisoft+ – which added several Assassin’s Creed games last October – makes the Developer Direct a likely spot for an announcement. Some fans even think the smaller scale of the event, compared to larger shows like The Game Awards, could be why Ubisoft might be holding back the first trailer. However, if Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced does appear at the Developer Direct, it will be competing for attention alongside games like Fable, Forza Horizon 6, and the new action-RPG from Game Freak, Beast of Reincarnation.
