Ubisoft holds its cards for next yearin which the remake of Prince of Persia would also come out. But a dataminer found clues about Black Flag in Assassin’s Creed Shadows.

Assassin’s Creed Shadows contains information from Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced
“Resynchronized”: This will be the peculiar title of the remake of the fourth installment of the saga, as revealed on Reddit by dataminer u/thequaliti on Reddit.
“I wanted to share this soon, yeah a piece of text I found in the Assassin’s Creed Shadows location table”says your message. And the text he refers to is this:
“2237844772772548025: Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced is a work of historical fictioncreated by a diverse team. Although it is inspired by characters, places and historical events, it is a fiction where creative liberties were taken to adapt it to the interactive format of a video game..
It will be familiar to you: it is similar to the message that opens every game in the series, with the warning that this is a work of fiction. The most relevant thing is that it gives the possible title that the remake will have.
But what is a location table? It’s about youn file that brings together all the game’s textsorganized by keys; and serves to easily translate them into multiple languages without modifying the code or scenes.
The fact that this mention appears in Shadows may be related to the Animus Hub, the launcher that brings together all the titles in the franchise.
There are two options: the message will appear when the new Black Flag is available in the hubor that it is an advertisement on the main page; in the style of those that previously appeared in the menus of these games.
We won’t have to wait long to resolve any doubts: information indicates that the remake will be released before March 31, 2026. It’s only a four-month wait at most!
Yves Guillemot himself spoke of “several remakes” of Assassin’s Creed in May. Black Flag Resynced would be their first, destined for PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PC and most likely, Nintendo Switch 2.
