Ubisoft responds to "unfortunate" Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced leaks, says they're from "an old internal version of the game"

In Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag, Edward Kenway fires a flintlock pistol at an enemy soldier .

It's not that often that you see a game developer respond to leaks of its work, let alone confirm them, but Ubisoft has spoken out to clarify that, yes, certain Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced leaks are real, but they're so old that you can expect the real version to look pretty different.

At the start of last month, Ubisoft revealed that Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced really does exist – confirming what it felt like we'd already known for years, thanks to constant leaks and rumors going back to 2023. From information appearing online, to an age rating giving away the remake's name before its official announcement, there's a reason why Ubisoft is now calling it "gaming's worst-kept secret," and that's not changed even since the developer announced a proper reveal showcase is taking place tomorrow, April 23.
