  • Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced will get an official worldwide reveal this week
  • Fans can catch it on April 23
  • In classic Ubisoft fashion, the trailer has already leaked

Ubisoft has announced that the long-rumored Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag remake will be officially revealed this week.

In a new social media post, the company confirmed that an Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced worldwide reveal showcase will air on April 23 at 4PM PT / 12 ET / 5PM BST, where fans will get the first look at the trailer for what Ubisoft is calling "gaming's worst kept secret."

Fans will be able to tune in via Ubisoft's YouTube channel; however, if you've been on the internet for the past 24 hours, you may have noticed the trailer has already leaked ahead of schedule. Amazing timing!

The original Black Flag launched with a multiplayer mode. However, Ubisoft has mentioned in the trailer's description that Resynced is an "iconic solo pirate adventure," suggesting online mode has been removed from the remake.

Resynced first leaked in December when it was discovered via a ratings board listing, but rumors of the project's development game first surfaced in June 2023.

Recent reports claimed that the game will reportedly remove the original's modern-day plotlines, and it was initially speculated that it could be shadowdropped earlier this year.

Following months of leaks and rumors, Ubisoft officially confirmed the existence of Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced in March.

"Speculation around Assassin's Creed is not new, but it's worth repeating: 'Nothing is true. Everything is permitted'," Ubisoft said at the time. "Well, except in this case, some whispers have a little more wind in their sails. Keep your spyglass on the horizon."
