If you ask an Assassin’s Creed fan what their favorite game of the series is, Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag will likely be one of the top contenders. Because of its reputation, gamers are constantly asking for a remake of the popular pirate simulator. Now, the dream is finally here. Ubisoft has confirmed that a remake, called Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag Resynced, is coming.

Released in 2013, Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag saw the journey of Edward Kenway, a vagabond pirate haplessly thrust into life as part of the Assassin Brotherhood against his will. The critically acclaimed game was something that all gamers have been clamoring for since Sid Meier’s Pirates: a true pirate simulator. It was no surprise that the game got as popular as it did.

Today, through an official roadmap shared by the company, Ubisoft has confirmed that Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag Resynced is real, and it might launch later this year. The company also released the first concept art for the remake.

Currently, there’s no official word as to how Ubisoft is remaking the game. At the very least, we can expect significant graphical upgrades to put it up to par with the modern games. We wouldn’t be opposed to more stories and missions too.

Now, though the Black Flag remake is already a big deal, the same roadmap also emphasizes that Codename Hexe, the next mainline title, is still coming. Ubisoft hasn’t confirmed the actual timeline yet, but the game will depict “a pivotal moment in history.” With post-launch development for the ongoing Shadows winding down, efforts to launch Codename Hexe should be ramping up soon.

PC-only gamers have been eating well for the past few years. The formerly exclusive PlayStation library opened its gates and released worthy ports for PC. Unfortunately, Sony is putting an end to this short-lived era of openness to PC gamers. According to a new report, the company is once again making first-party PlayStation games exclusive to the console.

During the pandemic, Sony started releasing its critically acclaimed first-party games on PC. The new wave saw gamers get the ability to play titles such as Horizon Zero Dawn, The Last of Us, Marvel’s Spider-Man, and God of War on another platform. Even now, players are still eagerly awaiting the PC launch of Death Stranding 2, due out later this year.

However, as reported by Bloomberg’s Jason Schreier, Sony has just had a change of heart and will no longer release any more games on the PC, beyond those already confirmed for future launches.

This will mean that last year’s Ghost of Yotei and the upcoming Saros will remain PlayStation exclusives for the foreseeable future.

It’s a big change to Sony’s direction. However, it’s not without its precedents. For one, Microsoft has started to compete in the non-exclusive market. The company is already set to launch Fable and Forza Horizon 6 on other platforms, including PC and PlayStation, concurrently with the Xbox launch. To compare, PlayStation still waits a long time before launching exclusive games on PC.

Also, now that rumors have begun to speak of a fabled PlayStation 6, Sony might want to keep things close to its chest for now. After all, selling the console might be its top priority for now.

Motorsport has a flair for dramatic arrivals. When a new car rolls onto the track, the design alone can tell you it means business.

The Infinix NOTE 60 Ultra makes that kind of entrance at Mobile World Congress 2026.

Created with Italian automotive design house Pininfarina, the flagship pairs a supercar-inspired aesthetic with premium features including a 200MP camera system, satellite calling, and immersive JBL-tuned sound.

The result is a device that positions itself as more than just another NOTE series upgrade — it’s Infinix stepping onto the flagship grid.

Supercar-inspired design

Co-developed with legendary Italian design firm Pininfarina, the NOTE 60 Ultra takes heavy inspiration from high-performance sports cars.

The phone introduces what Infinix calls the world’s first Uni-Chassis Cam Module. Instead of the typical camera bump, the camera system sits beneath a single sheet of Corning Gorilla Glass Victus that flows seamlessly across the rear. The result is a smooth aluminum unibody design that maintains a clean silhouette while improving durability and pocketability.

Infinix says the design mirrors the aerodynamic philosophy of supercars, prioritizing smooth surfaces and uninterrupted lines.

Adding to the automotive inspiration is a Floating Taillight signature on the back that lights up when the device powers on. A hidden Active Matrix Display also appears during startup, echoing the digital dashboards seen in modern sports cars. The small display can show notifications, icons, or even a pixel-style companion.

The NOTE 60 Ultra comes in four Italian-inspired finishes: Torino Black, Monza Red, Amalfi Blue, and Roma Silver.

Flagship imaging system

Despite the flush camera design, the NOTE 60 Ultra still packs a powerful imaging setup.

At the center is a 200MP Samsung ISOCELL HPE sensor designed to deliver ultra-high-resolution photos with improved detail and clarity. It is paired with a 50MP Samsung ISOCELL JN5 periscope telephoto lens and a 112-degree ultra-wide camera.

The system supports a versatile zoom range, starting with a 2x optical crop, extending to 3.5x optical zoom, and reaching 7x lossless digital zoom, with up to 100x zoom for distant subjects.

Infinix also introduces support for the XDR display standard with Ultra HDR Capture, powered by a proprietary XDR Image Engine. The system aims to preserve highlights and shadows more accurately, especially in challenging lighting scenarios like night scenes or sunsets.

Connectivity beyond cellular networks

Another headline feature is two-way satellite communication.

The NOTE 60 Ultra supports both satellite calling and messaging, allowing users to stay connected even in areas without traditional cellular coverage. The feature can also enable emergency location sharing during disasters or when traveling through remote regions.

According to Infinix, the system offers coverage across a broader number of countries compared to typical satellite messaging implementations.

Big battery, fast charging

Powering the device is a 7000mAh silicon-carbon battery, paired with Infinix’s new Battery Self-Healing Technology. The company claims the system can restore up to 1 percent of battery health every 200 charge cycles, potentially helping maintain long-term battery performance.

Charging is equally fast, with support for 100W wired charging and 50W wireless charging. Infinix says the device can charge from 1 to 100 percent in around 48 minutes via wired charging.

The phone runs on a 4nm MediaTek Dimensity 8400 Ultimate chipset, which Infinix claims delivers up to 25 percent faster multitasking alongside improved app responsiveness.

Display, audio, and AI features

On the front is a 1.5K Ultra HDR display with a 144Hz refresh rate and up to 4500 nits peak brightness. The panel also features predictive stabilization designed to reduce motion discomfort when watching videos or gaming while in motion.

For audio, the phone includes stereo speakers tuned by JBL.

The NOTE 60 Ultra runs XOS 16 based on Android 16, introducing a new interface called GlowSpace. The software integrates several AI-powered tools including personalized file organization, adaptive knowledge features, and an Advanced Health Monitor capable of real-time vitals tracking.

Availability

The Infinix NOTE 60 Ultra will be available in a single configuration with 12GB RAM and 256GB storage, along with built-in eSIM support.

It will ship with three years of major Android updates and five years of security patches.

Infinix will also bundle a deluxe gift box that includes a supercar-inspired MagCharge stand, Kevlar MagPad, custom Kevlar MagCase, and a track-edition SIM ejector pin.
