Ubisoft will officially unveil Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced on April 23 at 12PM ET via livestream. The long-rumored remake marks the company's formal entry into the pirate-themed revival.

The showcase will stream on Ubisoft's YouTube and Twitch channels. Black Flag Resynced has faced years of speculation before Ubisoft confirmed its existence last month, ending months of industry whispers about the project. Details remain scarce. Ubisoft has released only promotional materials so far, keeping gameplay mechanics and visual updates under wraps ahead of the official reveal. The original Assassin's Creed Black Flag launched in 2013 and became a fan favorite, known for its naval combat and Caribbean pirate setting. A remake has been frequently requested by the community since then. This announcement follows Ubisoft's broader strategy of revisiting legacy franchises. The publisher has increasingly turned to remakes and remasters to capitalize on established IP while developing new entries.
