Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced: available on PS5 and Xbox Series

Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced brings back one of the most popular instalments in Ubisoft's series. This modernised version of the pirate-themed game is developed by Ubisoft Montreal and published by Ubisoft Entertainment, in the same style as the large open-world action-adventure games that made the Assassin's Creed series well known.

The game is set in the Caribbean during the golden age of piracy, between 1715 and 1722. Players control Edward Kenway, a Welsh privateer looking for wealth, who is soon drawn into the age-old conflict between the Assassins, who defend free will, and the Templars, who want to impose order. His search for a legendary place called the Observatory leads him to sail the seas, meet the most famous pirates of the time and influence the fate of a short-lived pirate republic.

This resynced version does more than update a classic. It uses ray tracing and Dolby Atmos for greater immersion, has reworked combat, parkour and stealth systems, and adds new content: new story elements, characters and crew officers, a photo mode and sea shanties are added to the original adventure.

The game comes in three editions. The Standard edition includes the base game and all of its resynced content. The Launch edition, an Amazon exclusive, includes the game on disc and a set of collectible items in a cardboard sleeve: a thirty-four-page art book, a double-sided poster with a detailed map of the Caribbean on one side and artwork from the game on the other, and Blackbeard's Crimson digital pack, which gives Edward an outfit, a sword and a pistol. The Deluxe edition includes the same base game and adds two Master Assassin-themed packs. The first is for Edward: an outfit, a sword, a pistol and a trinket, each with exclusive bonuses. The second is for the ship, with a set of sails, a figurehead, a wheel, a hull trim, a crew outfit and an on-board pet.

Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced has been available since 9 July 2026 on PS5 and Xbox Series.
