First released well over a decade ago, Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag is widely regarded as one of the best Assassin's Creed games of all time, which is no easy feat considering there are 14 main installments in the series at the time of writing.

We already know that Twitch users can expect to get their hands for the upcoming launch of Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag Resynced and that Matt Ryan in the iconic lead role, but we do not yet know how much cash we will be splashing to get our hands on a copy. Well, until now.

Luckily, the standard edition comes in at a much more respectable $59.99 / €59.99 / £49.99 which seems fair for a full remake of a game as popular as this. The Collectors Edition will feature a statue of Edward Kenway himself lounging on a homemade throne, alongside a faux-leather folio including notes, maps, and more. There is also a piece of sheet music, a steelbook, a skull badge, and cosmetic in-game DLC.
Whilst the showcase is scheduled to take place on 23 April at 4PM UTC/6PM CEST/9AM PDT, Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag Resynced is set to launch on 9 July 2026, and will arrive on Ubisoft+ Premium on day one. According to Tom Henderson, the presentation is set to last for 30 minutes, and will show us all the ways that the remake has improved on the original.
