THE PROJECT
Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced brings Ubisoft’s fan-favourite pirate adventure back to life, following former privateer Edward Kenway as he carves out a legend across the Caribbean. Rebuilt from the ground up on the latest Anvil engine, Black Flag Resynced launched on 9th July 2026.
THE CHALLENGE
Ahead of launch, Ubisoft asked us to produce the Worldwide premier with a livestream for Black Flag Resynced, hosted by Matt Ryan, the actor behind Edward Kenway in the original game. Introducing the remake to a global online audience, sharing new details from the development team, and unveiling the Collector’s Edition for the first time.

We designed and built a fully dressed pirate island set, transporting viewers straight into Edward Kenway’s world from the opening shot, palm fronds, sun-bleached rock, a tropical shoreline and a tattered Jackdaw flag draped over the set behind them. Hosted by Matt Ryan, the show opened with a warm welcome back to a world he hadn’t inhabited in over a decade, before moving into a first look at rebuilt gameplay with Creative Director Paul Fu and members of the development team, covering everything from reworked parkour and combat to dynamic weather at sea.
The stream also gave space to the community, sharing feedback sessions with core players that had shaped decisions throughout development, before Matt sat down with original Black Flag Creative Director Jean Guesdon and Paul Fu for an extended conversation on the game’s legacy. From its original creative pillars to what stayed non-negotiable in the remake, the studio’s approach to new story content, and a first tease of a newly reimagined track from Woodkid.
Partway through the show, the game’s Collector’s Edition was revealed for the first time. Matt introduced the premium Edward Kenway figurine and hand-illustrated notebook live on camera, ahead of pre-orders going live.
