Black Flag Resynced, the much-anticipated remake of the classic pirate-themed Assassin's Creed installment, is set to release shortly, letting us revisit Edward Kenway, kill a million British soldiers, and sink a navy's worth of ships. It's all in the name of plunder, though.
The remake is visually quite impressive, but there's also a bunch of new content, such as quests, pets, improved ship battles, and all sorts. Below, I'll run through when you can play, but also explain about preloading so you can hop right in on launch.

Does Assassins Creed Black Flag Resynced have a preload?
Yes, Black Flag Resynced does have a preload option available and it's active right now, having started on July 7, meaning you can download it in advance on both PC and console. A good thing, too, since the game is reasonably large, requiring 65 GB available space.
