It’s official: Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced is on its way, with a worldwide reveal from Ubisoft in two days, on April 23. It was only a week ago when Ubisoft announced the official title for the remake, igniting hopes of an upcoming release, and it looks like we’ll know more in just a couple of days.

Thus far, Ubisoft hasn’t revealed much about the remake other than stating it will feature a new cast of characters and stories. It’s been thirteen years since the original’s release, and much has changed with PC hardware, so aside from new content, there are many new hardware features available for support. From ray tracing effects such as global lighting, path tracing, ray-traced shadows, and more, to HDR and super-sampling technologies such as DLSS, XeSS, and FSR, along with support for 21:9 and 32:9 ultrawide displays, there are plenty of improvements Ubisoft could make to the game. Let’s hope they’ve put the work into modernizing the game for current hardware, be it PC or consoles.
It will also be interesting to see if the developers have made any changes to the game’s iconic parkour mechanics or its combat systems. Meanwhile, there have been leaks regarding the game being in development for a number of years now, so Ubisoft is capitalizing on this in its teaser trailer, calling Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced gaming’s worst-kept secret. With any luck, the reveal will soon be followed by a release, so players won’t have to wait much longer to replay what many consider the best entry of the franchise.
