Edition comparison
Which Black Flag Resynced edition should you buy?
Standard is for the base remake, Deluxe is for players who want extra digital packs, and Collector's Edition is for players who also want physical items.
| Edition | What it means | Best fit |
|---|---|---|
| Standard | The base Black Flag Resynced game | Players who only want Edward's core remake campaign |
| Deluxe | Base game plus Master Assassin character and naval packs | Players who want extra in-game packs without physical items |
| Collector's Edition | Deluxe content plus physical collectibles | Players who want Edward's figurine, SteelBook, cloth map, logbook, brooch, and shanty sheet |
| Launch Edition | Physical retail launch package in supported regions | Players buying a boxed version where retailer stock is available |
| Pre-order bonus | Blackbeard's Crimson Pack | Players buying early for the Edward costume, sword, and pistol bonus |
Edition decision
The simple buying rule
Do not pay for a higher edition unless the extra content matches how you plan to play or collect.
- Buy Standard if you only care about the remake campaign and normal route completion.
- Buy Deluxe if the Master Assassin character and naval packs matter to your save or collection.
- Buy Collector's Edition only if the physical items are worth the price, shipping, and regional availability.
- Pre-order only after your chosen store clearly lists Blackbeard's Crimson Pack for your platform.
Pre-order bonus
What is Blackbeard's Crimson Pack?
Blackbeard's Crimson Pack is the listed pre-order bonus. It includes an Edward Kenway costume, a sword, and a pistol, so it is a cosmetic and equipment-style bonus rather than a separate story route.
