The long-rumored remake of Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag is one step closer to becoming official. PEGI, Europe’s game ratings board, has officially rated a new title called Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced, strongly signaling that an announcement is right around the corner. The listing has sparked major excitement among fans who have been eagerly waiting for Ubisoft to revisit one of the franchise’s most beloved entries.
PEGI Rating Confirms the Remake’s Existence
The newly published PEGI rating confirms the title “Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced” with an age rating of 18, consistent with the franchise’s typical mature themes. The content description mentions violence, language, and in-game purchases, aligning with modern Assassin’s Creed releases.
While the rating does not list platforms, this is common for early listings and usually indicates that an official reveal is near.
PEGI ratings almost always appear shortly before a game is officially announced. This timing strongly suggests that Ubisoft is preparing to reveal the remake soon—possibly during a major gaming event or a dedicated showcase.
Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag is regarded as one of the best entries in the series, blending pirate adventure, open-world freedom, and classic Assassin’s Creed gameplay. A remake would give Ubisoft a chance to refresh the game for modern hardware with improved visuals, updated mechanics, and smoother performance.
Based on recent industry rumors and the newly surfaced title, here’s what players might see in the remake:
- Overhauled visuals and modern graphics
- Refined naval combat and ship mechanics
- Updated stealth and combat systems
- Quality-of-life improvements across missions and exploration
- New or enhanced side content
- Potential live-service or cosmetic purchases, as hinted by PEGI’s in-game purchase label
The “Resynced” subtitle suggests a deeper modernization effort—possibly a ground-up rework rather than a simple remaster.
Platforms & Release Window Still Unconfirmed
Since the PEGI rating does not specify platforms, fans will have to wait for the official reveal. Realistically, the game is expected to launch on:
- PlayStation 5
- Xbox Series X|S
- PC
A 2026 release window is possible depending on the development timeline.
