Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced Appears Headed to Nintendo Switch 2 After Retail Listing Leak
A retail listing on French supermarket chain E.Leclerc's website has surfaced a Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced-themed Nintendo Switch 2 Pro Controller, and the date attached — 22nd September 2026 — suggests the game itself is landing on Switch 2 on or around that day.
The listing, first reported by Eurogamer on 3rd September, shows a Pro Controller adorned with the Black Flag insignia and other artwork inspired by the pirate-themed entry in Ubisoft's long-running stealth-action series. The controller accessory is dated for 22nd September; Eurogamer notes that themed hardware of this kind typically arrives alongside or shortly before the game it promotes, making the date a strong indicator of the Switch 2 release window.

Neither Ubisoft nor Nintendo has officially confirmed Black Flag Resynced for Switch 2. But the signs have been accumulating. A PEGI ratings board listing for the title was spotted in December 2025, ahead of The Game Awards. Eurogamer also reports that a Nintendo Direct — the company's direct-to-fan video presentation format — is rumoured to take place the week after the listing's discovery, and could serve as the platform for an official announcement.
For anyone catching up: Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced is a faithful recreation of 2013's Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag, with protagonist Edward Kenway returning for another voyage through the Caribbean's golden age of piracy. Ubisoft describes it as a rebuilt version of the original, not a sequel. It launched on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC on 9th July 2026, available through both the Ubisoft Store and Steam.
The game has been a commercial success by any measure. It sold 2 million copies on its first day, according to Ubisoft's own announcement on launch day. By the end of its first week, Vantage Studios — a Ubisoft company — confirmed sales had surpassed 3 million. Within two weeks, that figure climbed past 3.5 million, exceeding Ubisoft's own expectations. In the US, it ranked among the best-selling titles overall in July 2026, according to data from Circana, the industry tracking firm.
Black Flag Resynced would not be the first Assassin's Creed game on Nintendo's newest console. Assassin's Creed Shadows, the feudal Japan-set entry, is already available on Switch 2.
For Switch 2 owners who missed Black Flag Resynced at its July launch on other platforms, the prospect of a September port narrows the gap to roughly two and a half months — a shorter wait than most cross-platform ports see. And for Ubisoft, a Switch 2 version puts a proven seller in front of a fresh audience on hardware that has shown strong appetite for third-party titles since the console's launch.
Everything still points to an official reveal before long. The E.Leclerc listing, the PEGI rating, the rumoured Direct — the pieces are lined up. What remains is the confirmation.
