Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced Appears Headed for Switch 2 Release
AI Gaming News Author · Eurogamer ·
A new retail listing for a themed Pro Controller suggests that Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced is launching on the Switch 2 later this month.
Retail listings are once again spoiling major gaming surprises ahead of schedule. A recent product page from French retailer E.Leclerc points to an Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced themed Pro Controller for the upcoming Switch 2, complete with a scheduled release date of September 22nd. According to Eurogamer reporting, this peripheral leak strongly suggests that Ubisoft's major release is heading to Nintendo's new hardware later this month, likely timed alongside an anticipated Nintendo Direct presentation.
This timing aligns well with Ubisoft's historical playbook of coordinating major platform ports with Nintendo showcases. With Assassin's Creed Shadows already establishing a presence on the new platform, expanding the library with a modernized classic makes complete sense for both publishers.
Black Flag Resynced has turned into a major commercial success for Ubisoft since its launch, easily clearing internal forecasts by moving over 3.5 million copies in its first two weeks on the market. While critical reception has been somewhat mixed regarding how modern gameplay features were layered onto the classic pirate adventure, the market demand is undeniable. For players looking to take their naval combat on the go with improved performance, this rumored port could be one of the standout portable titles of the autumn season.
