Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced will feature PSSR 2 on PS5 Pro
Ubisoft confirms the game will have several modes on PS5 and PS5 Pro
The game will also use the latest version of the studio's Anvil engine

Ubisoft has confirmed Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced will feature Sony's upgraded PSSR (PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution) AI upscaling technology.

The remake of the 2013 Assassin's Creed pirate adventure has finally been revealed, and a new PlayStation Blog post following the world premiere trailer has outlined what players can expect from the PS5 and PS5 Pro versions.

Ubisoft said it's "taking advantage of PS5 Pro to deliver an immersive pirating adventure" to deliver improved visuals and optimized performance.

"We were extremely impressed with the enhanced PSSR. It really redefines the graphics experience in console games," said Jussi Markkanen, technical director, Ubisoft Singapore. "It allowed us to render our dynamic tropical world full of swaying palm trees, violent storms and rogue waves without visible upscaling artifacts, delivering sharp pixel quality and great image stability."

Nicolas Lopez, technical architect at Ubisoft Montréal, said that Black Flag Resynced "pushes ray tracing further across all modes" on PS5 and PS5 Pro, and confirmed the PS5 Pro version will offer the latest PSSR 2 tech.

Like most PS5 games, this suggests the game will launch with several graphics modes, like Performance, Balanced, and Quality.

"PlayStation 5 brings more consistent lighting, while PlayStation 5 Pro delivers a no-compromise experience with advanced ray tracing performance and enhanced PSSR," Lopez said.
