AC Black Flag showcase set

Ubisoft will formally unveil Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced on Wednesday, April 23, at 9 a.m. Pacific and 12 p.m. Eastern. (news.ubisoft.com) The company said the dedicated showcase will stream on YouTube and Twitch, and listed the start time as 6 p.m. Central European Summer Time and 4 p.m. Coordinated Universal Time for viewers outside North America. (news.ubisoft.com) Ubisoft is presenting the game as a separate event instead of folding it into a larger summer briefing, and the official teaser video calls it a “worldwide reveal showcase.” (youtube.com, news.ubisoft.com) Black Flag Resynced is Ubisoft’s remake of 2013’s Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag, the pirate-era entry built around Edward Kenway, ship combat, and Caribbean exploration. Gematsu reported that Ubisoft had announced the project earlier but had not shared details beyond teaser artwork before setting this showcase. (gematsu.com) That gives this week’s stream a clear role: it is the first scheduled window for Ubisoft to show what “Resynced” actually changes, including visuals, systems, platforms, or release timing. Ubisoft has not published those specifics ahead of the event. (news.ubisoft.com, gematsu.com) Ubisoft used the announcement to underline why it picked this game for a remake. In its post, the company said the original Black Flag had reached more than 34 million players as of 2023. (news.ubisoft.com) The remake has circulated for months through reports and leaks before Ubisoft locked in this official date. IGN said Ubisoft itself referred to the project as “gaming’s worst kept secret” in the reveal rollout. (ign.com) For fans, the immediate question is no longer whether the remake exists but what Ubisoft is ready to show on April 23. The answer arrives in a 9 a.m. Pacific livestream with a fixed public start time and official channels already in place. (news.ubisoft.com, youtube.com)
