A return to the stranger tides of the Caribbean is on the cards as Ubisoft has officially unveiled Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag Resynced. This remake of the 2013 game launches on July 9 for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S, and preorders are open for the game’s editions: a Standard Edition at $60, a Digital Deluxe Edition for $70, and a Collector’s Edition loaded with booty for $200.
Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag Resynced Preorder Bonuses
Like other Ubisoft games, several preorder bonuses are available for purchasing Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag Resynced early. All versions include Blackbeard’s Crimson Pack DLC, a set of crimson-colored weapons and gear that look good and grant unique perks when equipped. Here’s what you get in this collection:
- Crimson Costume
- Crimson Sword
- Crimson Pistol
Not just a complete graphical overhaul of the fourth mainline Assassin’s Creed game from 2013, Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag Resynced also features several major upgrades to the gameplay. The parkour gameplay has been updated to feel more in line with modern-day Assassin’s Creed games, the tailing missions have been substantially reworked, and combat has been fine-tuned to be both faster and more fluid.
If you never played the original game, Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag follows Edward Kenway, a Welsh privateer-turned-pirate who accidentally becomes involved in the secret war between two ancient societies. Considered to be one of the very best Assassin’s Creed games, the new Resynced edition is a “faithful remake” of it.
