Black Flag and Ocarina of Time Make 2026's Remakes Feel Way Too Personal

Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced and Nintendo's Switch 2 version of Ocarina of Time are both leaning heavily into nostalgia, and it's a fascinating look at how many different age groups that gaming appeals to now. There is a lot of anticipation surrounding Black Flag Resynced and the new Ocarina of Time, and it's just the tip of the iceberg of all the remakes that are set to launch in 2026. This year is packed with big releases in general, but the sheer number of high-profile remakes among brand-new original games is an interesting phenomenon.
