Ubisoft hasn’t said a word, but the industry practically yelled it for them.
After months of leaks, actor slip-ups, backend updates, and insider reports, the long-rumored Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag remake has taken its most decisive step toward reality yet.
An updated PEGI rating for Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced has been spotted, which is a clear indication that Ubisoft is close to announcing the remake.
What Exactly Did PEGI Just Confirm About the Remake?
After years of leaks, speculation, accidental confirmations, and Ubisoft’s increasingly impossible attempts to pretend nothing is happening, the remake of Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag has taken its biggest step toward becoming official.
PEGI’s website now shows a new listing for Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced, a title that echoes the series’ sync-focused branding and hints that this isn’t just a standard remaster.
The listing gives the remake an 18 rating for violence, strong language, and in-game purchases, echoing the tone of the original but signaling that microtransactions or DLC may be part of the updated package.
Early ratings typically do not include platform or release information, but this one appearing just after Ubisoft highlighted an unannounced game scheduled before March 31, 2026 signals that an official reveal is close.
Sources familiar with the situation believe the project is the Black Flag remake, currently targeting the week of March 23, 2026 for release.
Why Is This the Biggest Confirmation Yet?
This rating drop is the latest in a long chain of leaks that have made Black Flag Resynced one of the worst-kept secrets in Ubisoft’s history.
Earlier this year, Edward Kenway’s voice actor referenced the project at a convention and allegedly received legal threats for talking too openly about it.
A separate leak claimed that internal localization files from Assassin’s Creed Shadows even included the name “Black Flag Resynced,” and fans noticed that the original AC4 had begun receiving unexplained backend updates on Steam.
Add in merchandise manufacturers casually referencing the remake and Ubisoft desperately trying to play whack-a-mole with every leak, and it’s no surprise that the PEGI listing feels less like a discovery and more like Ubisoft’s hand slipping from the doorknob.
Beyond confirming its existence, the rating reinforces earlier reports about the remake’s scale. Multiple insiders have suggested that Resynced is being built as a substantial overhaul, not a lightly updated version of a decade-old classic.
The remake is rumored to adopt a structure closer to recent entries like Origins, Odyssey, Valhalla, and Shadows, introducing more RPG-style mechanics, modern navigation systems, improved world detail, and significant graphical leaps.
