The event is also announced for 4 PM UTC and 9 AM PDT, to reach the global fan community. The presentation will be broadcast live on YouTubevia the official channels of Ubisoft and of Assassin’s Creed.
Ubisoft fully assumes responsibility for the months of leaks surrounding the project by presenting it as “gaming’s worst kept secret”.

The showcase should last around thirty minutes, in line with the private press briefing organized on April 16.
Black Flag Resynced: what is Ubisoft preparing for this solo pirate remake?
In his communication, Ubisoft describes the game as an “iconic single-player pirate adventure”. The message is clear: this Black Flag Resynced focuses on the single-player experience, without putting forward the multiplayer of the 2013 episode. According to the information already relayed, it is an in-depth remake of Assassin’s Creed IV Black Flag, with a big visual leap and an overhaul of certain combat and navigation mechanics to get closer to the level of a Assassin’s Creed Shadows.
Several credible leaks also suggest new narrative content centered on Edward Kenwaywith new parts of his pirate career. Conversely, sequences set in the modern era would be greatly reduced or even deleted, which is a matter of debate in the community. According to the PSU site, the project would be presented internally as “not an RPG”, confirming a return to a more classic structure, far from the enormous skill trees ofOrigins Or Valhalla. However, all of this remains to be validated during the live performance.
Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced: release, date rumors and post-showcase
Officially, Ubisoft does not yet communicate on the release date or the price of the game. Behind the scenes, several sources, including InsiderGaming and the journalist Tom Hendersonpoint towards a release on July 9, 2026 on PC, PS5 And Xbox Series. However, these are leaks, which should be taken with caution until the publisher confirms them.
The April 23 showcase should therefore serve as a key moment to clarify the positioning of the remake, show a first real gameplay trailer and, potentially, officially unveil this famous date of July 9. One thing is certain: between nostalgia for naval battles and curiosity for this new purely single-player setting, players will have every interest in being connected at 6 p.m. to see how Ubisoft intends to resurrect the aura of Black Flag in 2026.
