Retail Listing Sparks Rumors of Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced Port for Nintendo Switch 2

A new retail listing has sparked speculation that Ubisoft’s Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced may soon be announced for the Nintendo Switch 2. Despite the game being absent from the console's initial launch on July 9, 2026, a themed accessory listing points toward a potential upcoming release.

According to reports, French retailer E.Leclerc published a pre-order listing for an official Switch 2 "Advanced Pro Wireless Controller" manufactured by Lexip. The controller features a design themed after Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced, complete with artwork and imagery from the game. The product page included an image of the physical accessory, adding weight to the legitimacy of the leak.

Release Date and Announcement Rumors

The E.Leclerc listing indicates a release date of September 22, 2026, for the themed wireless controller. Historically, peripheral manufacturers do not release dedicated, officially licensed game-themed controllers for systems that do not host the corresponding software, suggesting an unannounced port is actively in development.

Speculation has also mounted regarding when an official announcement might take place. Industry rumors suggest Nintendo may host a Direct broadcast on September 10, ahead of the Tokyo Game Show. Observers note that such an event would provide Ubisoft with a logical platform to officially reveal the Switch 2 port of Black Flag Resynced.

A Baffling Omission

The initial absence of Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced on the Switch 2 surprised many fans, particularly because Ubisoft's newer and more demanding title, Assassin's Creed Shadows, was already running on the console. If the rumored controller and game release are accurate, players may soon be able to experience the remastered pirate adventure on Nintendo's hybrid system.
