Ubisoft has finally given us some real details about Assassin's Creed: Black Flag Resynced, after confirming the remake earlier this year. It's set to release on July 9 for PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X/S.
There's a trailer and it looks absolutely gorgeous, with graphics resembling recent entries like Assassin's Creed Shadows. This is a real-deal remake, and not a port. This version seems to feature a fair amount of new content, but still stars protagonist Edward Kenway.
There's a new weather system and an upgraded underwater exploration system. Combat has been refined to closer match new entries and, thankfully, the stealth mechanics have been updated. Getting spotted doesn't always end the mission, like the original. The remake even has new crew members, including a cat, that accompany you during the exploration segments.
Here's one interesting tidbit. The trailer only shows scenes set in the Caribbean during the 1700s, and none of the modern day segments. This tracks with rumors that the remake would scrap the Montreal bits entirely. We'll have to wait and play the game to see if this ends up being true.
The original Assassin's Creed: Black Flag is considered one of the most beloved entries in the franchise. Here's hoping the remake does it justice.
We're still waiting on news regarding the next mainline entry in the franchise. Ubisoft is currently developing it under the name Codename Hexe and it's being described as "a unique, darker, narrative-driven Assassin's Creed experience set during a pivotal moment in history."
