Summary
Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced will ship on PC with Denuvo Anti-Tamper, Ubisoft said, settling months of speculation after storefront and backend listings pointed to the DRM.
Denuvo fits Ubisoft's usual launch strategy for major PC releases: slow piracy during the first sales window, when day-one and first-month revenue matter most.
PC players have long criticized the software over possible CPU overhead, longer loading times, stuttering, and the broader issue of paying customers getting a more restricted version.
The bigger risk for Ubisoft may be launch-week perception rather than outright sales loss: if the July 9 release has performance issues, Denuvo is likely to absorb much of the blame.
