Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced has appeared on the PEGI ratings website, adding new momentum to long running reports surrounding a remake of Assassin’s Creed IV Black Flag. While Ubisoft has yet to formally announce the project, the listing on an official ratings board has strengthened expectations that a public reveal may be nearing. The timing has attracted particular attention, especially with The Game Awards set to take place on December 11.
Before the PEGI entry surfaced, the latest details emerged through a datamine tied to an update for Assassin’s Creed Shadows. Within the localization files, a specific line of text was found that referenced the project by name. The text states, “Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced is a work of historical fiction created by a diverse team. While inspired by historical events, people, and locations, it remains a work of fiction in which creative liberties have been taken to adapt it to the interactive format of a video game.” The wording closely matches the disclaimer language commonly used in officially released Assassin’s Creed titles.
The PEGI rating has further intensified speculation, as ratings submissions typically occur closer to formal announcements or launch preparations. Although the listing does not confirm supported platforms or a release timeframe, it suggests that Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced is moving closer to public announcement. When viewed alongside the earlier datamine, many see the listing as a sign that Ubisoft may soon acknowledge the project, potentially during a high-profile industry event.
Assassin’s Creed IV Black Flag originally launched in October 2013 and remains one of the franchise’s most widely praised entries. Set during the Golden Age of Piracy, the game follows Edward Kenway, a privateer who becomes entangled in the conflict between the Assassins and Templars across the Caribbean. Developed by Ubisoft Montreal, the title is best known for its expansive open world, naval combat systems, and ship boarding mechanics, which went on to influence later installments. Over the years, it was released across multiple platforms, including PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Wii U, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC, and Nintendo Switch as part of The Rebel Collection.
