Ubisoft confirmed that Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced will ship on July 9 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and PC. The remake, rebuilt in an upgraded Anvil engine by Ubisoft Singapore, revisits Edward Kenway’s pirate saga with ray‑traced lighting, overhauled water simulation and a refreshed combat system. The update also introduces dynamic weather that influences sea travel and island exploration.

Graphics receive full RTGI, global illumination and modernized assets, while naval battles and parkour moves gain new physics. Ubisoft listed a 65 GB SSD requirement and 16 GB RAM across all tiers. Minimum PC specs target 1080p 30 FPS on a Core i7‑8700K or Ryzen 5 3600 with a GTX 1660, while 4K ultra demands an RTX 4090 or RX 7900 XTX paired with a Core i7‑12700K. Higher settings also support DLSS and variable rate shading.

The standard edition will sell for $59.99, with Deluxe and Collector’s versions adding character and naval packs or physical memorabilia like an Edward figurine and steelbook. Pre‑orders grant the Blackbeard’s Crimson Pack, a costume, swords and pistols. By refreshing a beloved 2013 title, Ubisoft aims to draw both nostalgic fans and new players to its flagship franchise.
