The Nintendo Switch 2 is a beast, and a huge upgrade over the first Switch—no offense to it. But Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced is a modern-day remake with all the massive AAA qualities you’d want, which puts a Switch 2 version in doubt.
2013’s Black Flag came out during a hot time when the PS3 and Xbox 360 were doing well, but the era of the PS4 and the Xbox One was beginning. There were pirates and pals across multiple formats, but in 2026, it’s a different time and proposition.

Here’s what AC Shadows Title Update 1.1.11 explained:
‘To activate the new Projects, complete Anomalies and progress through the rewards like previously released ones. These include rewards for both Shadows and Black Flag Resynced and can be progressed by completing Anomalies from both games.
Note: Unfortunately, these will not be available on Nintendo Switch 2 as it contains crossover content with Black Flag Resynced, which will not be releasing for Nintendo.’
So, never say never, but it’s not looking good. If you want to play Resynced, you’ll need a PS5, Xbox Series X|S, or PC!
