All Assassin’s Creed Games in Chronological Order—When Is AC Black Flag Resynced Set?
The Assassin’s Creed franchise’s timeline has become increasingly complex nearly two decades after its debut, as the series no longer maintains a chronological release pattern. While early Assassin’s Creed titles typically followed sequential releases, the franchise has since evolved to span multiple historical periods, from Ancient Greece to 1800s London.
This fragmented approach has made it challenging for players to understand where individual titles fit within the broader lore. To help clarify, Insider Gaming has compiled a comprehensive chronological listing of all Assassin’s Creed games.
Notably, the article addresses Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced, confirming that the remastered game is set between 1715 and 1722 AD—the same historical period as the original Black Flag release. The game centers on the Golden Age of Piracy in the West Indies, following a pirate protagonist during one of maritime history’s most storied eras.
The original Black Flag was acclaimed for its gameplay during this period, blending naval combat, exploration, and stealth mechanics within a pirate-themed setting. The Resynced version appears to bring this classic experience to modern systems, maintaining the original’s time period while presumably enhancing graphics and performance for contemporary hardware.
The growing complexity of the Assassin’s Creed timeline reflects the franchise’s ambitious approach to covering diverse historical settings. Rather than maintaining a linear release schedule, Ubisoft has chosen to explore various eras and civilizations, offering players different historical backdrops with each installment. This strategy has allowed the series to revisit and reimagine different periods in gaming history while maintaining its core stealth and historical adventure gameplay mechanics.
