Retail listings don't lie, fam — a French E.Leclerc page just dropped a Switch 2 Pro Controller decked out in Black Flag Resynced vibes, dated for September 22 release. That lines up way too perfectly with the actual game dropping alongside it, especially since Ubisoft already proved they can port heavy hitters like Assassin's Creed Shadows to the new Nintendo hardware. The listing even shows the Black Flag insignia front and center with pirate-flavored art wrapped around the grips, screaming "this ain't a coincidence."

Black Flag Resynced already crushed it this year, moving over 3.5 million copies in its first two weeks on PS5, Xbox, and PC while topping US sales charts in July. Now the Switch 2 rumor mill is spinning hard again after earlier official statements and Shadows update notes flat-out said it wasn't coming to Nintendo at all. A Nintendo Direct next week could be the perfect stage for Ubisoft to flip the script and announce the port, just like they've done with other third-party ports in the past.

Ziggy energy says this is peak chaos: one minute the game's skipping the hybrid entirely, the next it's getting custom merch and a surprise date. If it lands, the handheld pirate life is about to get way more accessible — just don't expect it to run at full fidelity without some serious optimization magic.
