Patch and hotfix notes

Title Update 1.0.4 is the most recent numbered post-launch patch identified as of the July 19, 2026 source check. Ubisoft's patch notes and the official Steam News post list the release time as July 16, 2026 at 14:00 UTC / 10:00 AM EST / 7:00 AM PST, with patch sizes of 2.44 GB on PS5, 2.7 GB on Steam, 3.71 GB on PC, and 15.35 GB on Xbox Series X|S.

Most player-facing fixes are bug fixes, not roadmap changes: PC Custom-mode cutscenes no longer lock to 30 FPS, multiple save/load issues are fixed, the Jackdaw should no longer vanish when upgraded while docked, foggy weather should trigger again, and several Fast Travel, Animus wall, map icon, Rope Dart / Smoke Bomb aiming, advanced-parkour double-jump, and El Tiburon hint issues are addressed. The Steam Discussions Known Issues thread dated July 16, 2026 remains the current Ubisoft-supported tracker for open issues.

DLC roadmap and crossover tracker

At launch, Radio Times and Game8 reported that Resynced shipped without multiplayer and without a DLC roadmap. A Reddit discussion on r/pcgaming reflects the same player-facing launch understanding, but community discussion is supporting context rather than an official announcement. As of July 15, 2026, no announced DLC schedule should be presented as confirmed future content.

Crossover Projects Riptides and Undertow connect Black Flag Resynced with Assassin's Creed Shadows through Animus Hub rewards. They are live Project content, not evidence of a paid expansion roadmap. Track their availability in the Animus Hub guide and check each in-game reward panel for current rotation details.

Twelve Ultimate Ship Upgrade blueprints are scattered across the Caribbean; Eurogamer documents their dig locations.

It adds eight new Blackbeard-focused missions, three new Jackdaw officers with loyalty side quests (Lucy Baldwin, The Padre, Deadman Smith), Captain Stede Bonnet's dedicated quest, and "The Black Tides" end-game quest that bridges Black Flag Resynced and Assassin's Creed Shadows.

Both the 2013 first-person Abstergo office sections and the 2013 multiplayer mode are removed at launch.
