Resynced is a new, story-driven version focused on Edward's Caribbean adventures, excluding multiplayer and DLC content, and built from the ground up.
Switch and Switch 2 owners can still access the original Black Flag via the Rebel Collection, ensuring continued access for fans even after Resynced's release.
