Overview
- Ubisoft, which announced the showcase Monday, will stream it Thursday, April 23 at 9 a.m. PT / 12 p.m. ET on YouTube and Twitch.
- The publisher has locked in the title Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag Resynced, a return to the 2013 pirate entry that has reached over 34 million players.
- Leaked reporting seen by outlets such as NME says an internal presentation lists July 9, 2026 as the launch date, which Ubisoft has not confirmed.
- Those leaks also describe a full remake on a modern Anvil engine with updated visuals, added missions, and a solo, character‑driven focus that “is not an RPG.”
- New screenshots and short clips show Edward Kenway with sharper lighting and detail, and a briefly visible Ubisoft launcher listing surfaced ahead of the official reveal.
