About Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced

Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced is a rebuilt version of the pirate-era action-adventure, putting you back in the boots of Edward Kenway, captain of the Jackdaw. You strike fear across the Caribbean by boarding and sinking enemy vessels, moving fluidly between silent takedowns and ferocious brawls as you wield swords, pistols and the Hidden Blade, all while defying empires alongside legendary historical pirates in the enduring war between Assassins and Templars.

The "Resynced" label reflects a wide set of enhancements to the classic. Combat has been reworked for more dynamic encounters that emphasize parries and takedowns, while stealth and parkour have been refined for smoother escapes and assassinations. The Jackdaw can be continuously upgraded to take on powerful enemy ships, with naval mechanics gaining new alternate fire modes, and various quality-of-life additions address pain points from the original.

The Caribbean itself has been rebuilt on the latest Anvil engine into a seamless open world. Whether sailing stormy open seas, diving into underwater shipwrecks or pushing through dense tropical jungle, you take in sweeping vistas made more immersive by features such as Dolby Atmos and ray tracing. A pre-purchase bonus, Blackbeard's Crimson Pack, adds an exclusive costume, sword and pistol for Edward.
