Ubisoft’s full remake of Assassin’s Creed IV Black Flag, Black Flag Resynced, launched worldwide on 9 July 2026 for PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. Led by Ubisoft Singapore, the project utilizes an updated Anvil engine. The remake saw significant commercial success, selling over 3.5 million copies within its first two weeks and ranking among the top-20 titles on Xbox. Technical updates have been frequent. Title Update 1.0.6 addressed various issues, including PC cutscene bugs, graphics glitches, and PSSR upscaling on PS5 Pro. This patch doubled automatic save slots from five to ten, added a tutorial for the money-throwing mechanic, and introduced a toggle to hide Edward’s wooden blowpipe. Notably, the update also restored improved sail physics for the Jackdaw, which had been missing since the initial release. Ubisoft has confirmed that multiplayer and the Freedom Cry expansion will not be included. Community activity remains high. A fan-made “Unarmed Combat” mod on Nexus Mods allows for fistfighting, though finishing moves still use sword animations. Regarding official content, director Richard Knight has prioritized a New Game Plus mode, while rumors suggest a potential six-hour story expansion for Edward Kenway is in development. On 16 August 2026, the Denuvo anti-tamper protection for the PC version was cracked by voices38, approximately one month after the game's launch. While the remake features rebuilt combat and updated naval systems, some players have noted persistent technical issues, such as the protagonist occasionally getting stuck on environmental obstacles. On 31 August 2026, Ubisoft announced Title Update 1.0.7, scheduled for release on 1 September 2026. This patch introduces the ability to hide Edward Kenway’s pistols and blowpipe, an option to disable perk visual effects, and a new feature allowing players to rescue a dog in the Caribbean to join them at their hideout. The update also targets technical bugs involving ship sinking errors, UI issues with Eagle Vision, and fast traveling to Principe.
