A pirate classic, resynced for a new generation
Black Flag Resynced rebuilds Assassin's Creed IV from the keel up on the latest Anvil engine — ray-traced lighting, modernized water, reworked movement and combat, and expanded story arcs for Blackbeard and Stede Bonnet. It's a focused action-adventure: no levels, no gear score.

- Crouch-anywhere stealth & a parry-driven combat rework
- Deeper naval play aboard the Jackdaw, plus ship pets
- New scenes with original writer Darby McDevitt & VO Matt Ryan
