If it wasn’t enough for the PlayStation Store to leak Leon S. Kennedy’s appearance in Resident Evil Requiem, PEGI has seemingly confirmed Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag remake with its latest rating. As spotted by @TheHiddenOneAC on Twitter, it’s called Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced with Ubisoft EMEA listed as the publisher.
While the Violence and Bad Language ensure the PEGI 18 rating is justified, it’s worth noting the inclusion of In-Game Purchases. The original offered resource packs and Elite Plans to Edward Kenway’s ship, the Jackdaw, for real money. Whether Ubisoft will stick with the same or introduce more egregious microtransactions, as seen with recent titles (including the Assassin’s Creed Shadows X Attack on Titan crossover, which was heavily panned).
Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced hasn’t been officially announced by Ubisoft, but rumors have run wild for years now. Even Edward’s voice actor, Matt Ryan, teased it and was threatened with a lawsuit in return. With an alleged launch by March 31st, 2026, the remake could very well be at The Game Awards.
