Ubisoft officially confirms Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced

Ubisoft confirms that more than three Assassin’s Creed games are in development

It’s official, Ubisoft has confirmed that Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced is real. Ubisoft’s worst-kept secret is finally official. The Assassin’s Creed series is finally returning to the seven seas.

For now, Ubisoft has only released the following statement and the artwork below. This confirms the game’s Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced name. Sadly, the game lacks a release date.

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

As part of their wider Assassin’s Creed “Brand Update”, Ubisoft has confirmed that several new games are in development. Furthermore, Assassin’s Creed Unity is about to receive a 60 FPS update for Xbox Series X/S and PlayStation 5. Great news for gamers who want to replay this series entry. Until now, PC was the only platform that officially supported 60+ FPS gameplay in Assassin’s Creed Unity.

Next up, we have “Codename HEXE”, which will be a new “darker” entry in the series. It is being built by Ubisoft Montreal. Sadly, no details about this game’s setting have been revealed.

While we know we haven’t shared much about this one yet, it’s being built with great care by our veteran team here at Ubisoft Montreal. Expect a unique, darker, narrative-driven Assassin’s Creed experience, set during a pivotal moment in history.

You may have seen the recent news: I have recently taken the role of Creative Director for the project, in addition to my new responsibilities as Head of Content.

We are taking the time to deliver on its ambitious vision, which means we’ll be quiet for a little longer, but we love seeing all the enthusiasm happening on our channels and can’t wait to unveil more when the time is right.

Invictus is a new “PvP Multiplayer” entry for the Assassin’s Creed series. This will be developed by the veterans behind For Honor. This multiplayer game will not play like prior Assassin’s Creed multiplayer modes, so do not expect a rehash of what has came before.

Codename INVICTUS is progressing steadily with a test and learn approach.

Codename Invictus is a PvP multiplayer Assassin’s Creed experience led by a dedicated team of For Honor veterans at Ubisoft Montreal.

We understand there’s a lot of curiosity around this project: yes, it’s a new approach to multiplayer in the franchise, but it isn’t quite what the rumors have suggested. With player feedback at the heart of our approach, we’re exploring ways to bring the community in earlier so we can shape the experience together.

The team is incredibly passionate about what they’re building, and their work reflects our broader goal of offering a wider variety of experiences within the Assassin’s Creed universe.

Ubisoft has confirmed that they have other projects in development, including Assassin’s Creed Jade. Ubisoft has also expressed interest in adding co-op gameplay to Assassin’s Creed, which could be a welcome upgrade for many gamers.

Beyond these, we have several other projects currently in the works, all at different stages of development, including Assassin’s Creed Jade. We’re also looking into bringing co‑op back to Assassin’s Creed — a detail we know didn’t go unnoticed. And while we recently chose to pivot away from an early project, the lessons from that work are already helping shape our approach going forward.
