Classic Assassin’s Creed fans should be thrilled to find out Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced has been spotted on the Pan European Game Information (PEGI) website.
The listing, which assigns the title an 18+ rating from Ubisoft EMEA, has sparked widespread speculation that a formal announcement could be just around the corner, potentially at The Game Awards this Thursday. This PEGI appearance aligns perfectly with previous rumors and reports suggesting that Ubisoft has been working on a Black Flag remake for some time.
What We Know So Far
The PEGI database entry provides several tantalizing clues about this mysterious project:
- Official Title: The game is listed as Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced
- Age Rating: The 18+ PEGI rating includes descriptors for violence, bad language, and in-game purchases, consistent with the original game’s mature content
- Timing: PEGI ratings typically appear in databases weeks or even days before official announcements, indicating an imminent reveal
- Rumor Confirmation: This listing validates earlier reports and insider rumors that have circulated for months about Ubisoft’s plans to revisit Edward Kenway’s story
According to various leaks and industry insiders, the project may feature significant visual overhauls, rebuilt assets, and potentially modernized gameplay mechanics that bring the 2013 classic up to current standards. Some reports have suggested the remake could incorporate elements from more recent Assassin’s Creed titles while maintaining the core naval combat and exploration that made Black Flag a fan favorite.
Final Thoughts
With The Game Awards scheduled for December 11, 2025, the timing of this PEGI listing couldn’t be more perfect. The show has become a premier venue for major gaming announcements. Given that 2023 marked the 10th anniversary of Black Flag‘s original release, a remastered edition would be both a fitting tribute and a strategic move to introduce a new generation of players to Edward Kenway’s adventures on the high seas.
Black Flag deserves this treatment—its combination of swashbuckling action and open-world exploration has given it remarkable staying power. Whether Resynced proves to be a simple visual upgrade or something more ambitious, fans of the franchise have every reason to be excited. I’m a lot more confident in this remake than the Ezio Collection which turned out to be pretty disappointing.
This announcement would also fit perfectly into Ubisoft’s broader strategy of revitalizing beloved franchises. The publisher currently has three other highly anticipated remakes in development: the long-awaited Splinter Cell remake, Rayman and Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time remake, with the latter reportedly targeting an early 2026 release window. It seems Ubisoft is committed to bringing their classic titles to modern audiences, and Black Flag Resynced could be the next jewel in that crown. All eyes will be on The Game Awards to see if Ubisoft finally hoists the black flag once more.
