Shares in Ubisoft (EU:UBI) dropped more than 4% on Thursday after the group revealed that Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced will be released on July 9, marking its first major launch since a January profit warning that pushed the stock to a multi-year low.
The updated version of the 2013 pirate-themed game, largely developed by Ubisoft Singapore, will include enhanced graphics, additional gameplay elements and an expanded narrative.
“Resynced is the story you know and love from the original Black Flag, but the teams at Ubisoft have added brand-new content and enhancements across the experience,” the company said.
The title will be priced at €59.99 and will be available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and PC.
Restructuring Efforts Continue
The announcement comes as Ubisoft continues to implement a broad restructuring plan unveiled in January, which included the cancellation of six projects.
The Paris-based publisher said it intends to reorganise its operations into five creative divisions structured by genre, as it looks to streamline costs and refocus its strategy following a period of underperformance and underwhelming releases.
