Breaking: I can confirm a PEGI rating for Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced appeared today, dated December 9, 2025. It carries an 18 rating and a loaded subtitle, Resynced. In rating land, this kind of entry is a flare in the night sky. It means something is close. It also points to the remake we have been tracking all year.
What I found today
The listing is real. It names Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced and sets the age bar at 18. PEGI ratings often surface just before a reveal or a release window lock. That is why this matters. It is the closest thing to an official nod without the press release.
Resynced is not a random word. It speaks to the Animus and to a project that revisits a fan favorite with modern tech. It also lines up with the codename chatter I have been hearing from studios involved with naval systems.
How it fits Ubisoft’s clock
Ubisoft’s internal schedule leaves a clear slot before March 31, 2026. My reporting has pointed to an unannounced game landing in that window. The remake fits, and the timing checks out. I am hearing late March is in play, with the week of March 23 as a target window under discussion.
Development is led by Ubisoft Singapore, the team that helped define the series’ naval combat. Other studios are supporting, which is normal for a project this size. Ubisoft has not issued a public confirmation yet. The PEGI entry moved first.
Black Flag Resynced is positioned as a full return to the Caribbean era, not a light touch remaster.
What Resynced could change
Do not expect a texture swap. The plan goes further. The modern day sequences are set to be removed, which gives the pirate era more screen time. The remake leans into RPG style loot and gear, with stats on equipment and a broader upgrade loop. That shift will feel closer to Origins and Odyssey, but with a tighter focus on piracy.
One of the biggest tech goals is no loading between ship and shore. You spot a beach, you land, you fight, you sail. The original captured that fantasy, but it had seams. The remake wants to stitch those seams shut.
Quality of life updates round it out. Expect revised sailing controls, smarter boarding, and more dynamic storms. Sea shanties return, of course, with better mixing and new takes on crowd vocals. Edward Kenway’s swagger, voiced by Matt Ryan, is not being recast. Ryan has been teasing a return for months. That is not an accident.
Why this hits gaming culture hard
Black Flag is the series’ campfire story. Players remember the first time they cut the wheel in a hurricane. They remember a shanty catching as the crew belts it out. They remember diving for treasure while a shark circles. The game turned piracy into pure play. It also brought in people who did not care for strict stealth. It opened the series.
A remake will spark debate. Purists want stealth first, fewer numbers and stats. Newer fans love deep gear and long build arcs. Resynced sits between those worlds. It will try to keep the heart of the 2013 classic, while giving modern systems room to sing. That balance will decide how the community judges it.

When to expect the reveal
The Game Awards are set for December 11, 2025. That stage is loud, global, and built for a banner trailer. The PEGI timing lines up with a show debut, followed by a deep dive early next year. If it skips the show, watch for a focused Ubisoft stream in January or February.
Set alerts for The Game Awards, December 11. If Resynced is ready to show, that is the podium.
Plans shift. Features and dates can move during polishing. Treat anything not on an official Ubisoft channel as subject to change.
