Denuvo cracking underwent something of a drought in 2025, when Empress finally announced that she was departing from the scene two years after her final release, citing health struggles and her disillusion with the piracy community. With several historical groups also inactive or disbanded, the scene was drying up. Then came voices38 with a surprise Doom: The Dark Ages crack in early 2026. It marked the first time that a game from 2025 had been cracked by pirates, and just a few weeks later, voices38 would return with a Resident Evil Requiem crack, solidifying themselves as a new key player. Even more impressive was their day-one crack of Lego Batman: Legacy of The Dark Knight. While groups like DenuvOwO were relying on temporary hypervisor-level bypasses running beneath the Windows kernel level, voices38 managed a complete, traditional crack rather than relying on these more controversial methods. But their most poetic crack yet is Assassin's Creed: Black Flag Resynced — quite literally pirating a game about piracy. Edward Kenway would be proud. Voices38 Strikes Again What sets voices38 apart from traditional scene groups is that, like Empress, they share their work directly to online forums and Reddit, interacting with the community rather than following the traditional P2P hierarchy. Black Flag was no exception. Yesterday, they confirmed to r/CrackWatch that they had cracked the remake, complete with the DLC. It's hard to pin down a timeline, as voices38 does not explicitly state when they began working on the game, but this breakthrough comes just over five weeks after launch (though it appears to use the August 4 build, making for an even shorter gap). Little is known about voices38. They remain completely anonymous, taking donations through crypto — making their real-world identity difficult to establish — but they use the pronouns 'I' and 'my' when talking about cracks, so they appear to be an individual, not a group. Whoever they are, they're responsible for ending the dry spell, and have returned cracking to its roots rather than the more invasive hypervisor-level bypasses.
