Overview
- Ubisoft’s reveal Thursday confirmed a July 9, 2026 global release, detailed platforms and pricing, and opened pre-orders.
- Led by Ubisoft Singapore, the remake is rebuilt in the latest Anvil engine with ray‑traced lighting, modern water simulation, dynamic weather, and console modes up to 60 FPS, with PC specs now posted.
- Gameplay is reworked with parry‑focused combat, crouch‑anywhere stealth, new parkour moves, deeper naval tools, three recruitable ship officers with their own quests, pets for the Jackdaw, and fresh story scenes featuring the original cast.
- Resynced is a single‑player experience that omits the original game’s multiplayer and Freedom Cry DLC, and Ubisoft says the 2013 version will stay on digital storefronts.
- Standard, Deluxe, and Collector’s Editions are priced at $59.99, $69.99, and $199.99, and pre-order buyers receive Blackbeard’s Crimson Pack with themed outfit, swords, and pistols.
