All Signs Point to Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Remake Setting Sail at The Game Awards 2025
Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Remake looks set to make landfall at The Game Awards 2025, with a fresh PEGI 18 rating surfacing to all but confirm the project and tease a new title.
If you have been watching the pre–Game Awards rumor mill, you probably already heard whispers about an Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag remake. That chatter just got a lot louder: a new ratings-board entry points to the game, a new title, and a likely soon-ish reveal.
So, what happened?
The Pan-European Game Information board (PEGI) has posted an entry for something called 'Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced' with an 18+ rating. Ratings board listings tend to show up when publishers are close to going public, which makes the timing very interesting with The Game Awards 2025 right around the corner.
- New title spotted: 'Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced'
- PEGI rating: 18+ (mature)
- What that timing suggests: a reveal is likely imminent, and TGA 2025 is the obvious stage
Why The Game Awards makes sense
TGA 2025 is where the whole industry is watching at the same time. If Ubisoft wants to reintroduce one of the series' most beloved entries to both longtime fans and people who never touched the original, that global spotlight is hard to beat.
About that 'Resynced' name
Calling it 'Resynced' is not a subtle choice, and honestly, it is a good one. It implies more than just a fresh coat of paint. Maybe we're looking at upgraded visuals and modern controls, sure, but the name hints at deeper systems work too. One left-field possibility fans keep tossing around: weaving in Ubisoft's Animus Hub, the series' in-universe interface that can connect different entries under a single meta-layer. To be clear, that part is speculation, but the branding opens the door to a more meaningful overhaul than a straight remake.
This could be a twofer for Ubisoft
Black Flag Resynced alone would get a big reaction, especially from people who sank countless hours into it over a decade ago. But there is another card Ubisoft might play: Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time has also been rumored to be getting a remastered version, and recent industry chatter says it is close to ready. If those rumors hold, you could see both Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced and The Sands of Time share the stage at The Game Awards 2025.
Bottom line: the PEGI listing makes Black Flag Resynced feel real and close. If Ubisoft wants a moment, they have a very big one staring them in the face.
