Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag Resynced

Release Date: Jul 9, 2026
Ubisoft Singapore's Assassin's Creed: Black Flag Resynced launches July 9, 2026 on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC, a full ground-up remake of the 2013 pirate classic, rebuilt on the same Anvil engine that powered Assassin's Creed Shadows. The game follows Welsh pirate Edward Kenway across the Caribbean during the Golden Age of Piracy, now with expanded storylines for Blackbeard and Stede Bonnet, three new Jackdaw officers with their own quest arcs, and approximately six hours of new content written by original Black Flag writer Darby McDevitt. The Assassin's Creed: Black Flag Resynced voice cast reunites the original principals, with Matt Ryan returning as Edward Kenway alongside the full cast from 2013.

Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag Resynced, A Remake Built Around Its Voice Cast

Resynced was designed as a character-driven remake, not a visual upgrade. Game Director Richard Knight and Creative Director Paul Fu were explicit: the goal was to deepen Edward Kenway’s story rather than simply rerender it. Darby McDevitt, who wrote the original Black Flag, returned to script the new scenes. Ubisoft Singapore rebuilt the game entirely on the Anvil engine, but the creative argument for Resynced rests on the additional narrative content, and that content required the original cast. Matt Ryan and the ensemble from 2013 recorded fresh performance-capture sessions at Ubisoft’s Toronto studio for all new material.

Edward Kenway, Blackbeard, and Charles Vane Voice Actors in Black Flag Resynced

The Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag Resynced voice cast does its best work in the roles the new content was written around. Matt Ryan returns as Edward Kenway, a part he has carried since 2013. Ubisoft rewrote Edward’s backstory to match Ryan’s Welsh accent, making the character a Swansea sailor. Ryan is best known outside gaming as John Constantine in NBC’s Constantine and The CW’s Legends of Tomorrow. Mark Bonnar reprises Blackbeard, the character with the most expanded new storyline. Bonnar is known for DCC Mike Dryden in Line of Duty, and brings the weight needed for a Blackbeard that goes deeper than the legend. Ralph Ineson returns as Charles Vane; his career spanning Game of Thrones, The Witch, and Andor makes him one of the most recognizable voices in the cast.
