Ubisoft will launch Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced globally on Thursday, July 9, 2026, for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S.
The release aims to revive the company's commercial momentum after recent high-profile failures.

According to Alinea Analytics, Steam pre-orders for the remake have surpassed 300,000 copies.
This generated nearly $14 million in gross revenue, 5.39 times higher than the pre-launch sales of Assassin's Creed Shadows.
Analyst Rhys Elliot noted that the remake has already outsold the lifetime Steam sales of Skull & Bones, Ubisoft's previous pirate venture.
Shadows has reached 1.3 million lifetime copies on Steam since its release.
Remake Features and Pricing
The game is a ground-up remake of the 2013 title, focusing on Edward Kenway's Caribbean pirate adventures.
Ubisoft priced the title at $59.99, which analysts call a deliberate accessibility strategy to maximize the addressable audience.

Developed using the Anvil engine, the remake introduces ray tracing, 60 frames-per-second performance on PC, and enhanced weather effects.
It also integrates updated freerunning mechanics and a discovery-focused world map from recent franchise entries.
Ubisoft completely removed the original game's multiplayer mode and present-day office segments.
Instead, players collect floating glyphs that contribute to meta-progression within the new Animus Hub project, which functions similarly to a battle pass.
The release comes during a competitive July window alongside a Halo 1 remake.
