Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag Resynced, Ubisoft’s long-awaited pirate game remake, will feature major changes when it launches on July 9 \u2014 with the addition of new story quests and characters, but the removal of several key features. <\/p>\n

In a detailed presentation on the game attended by IGN, Ubisoft explained that it had decided to focus solely on the single-player story of Black Flag’s pirate-turned-Assassin Edward Kenway, meaning that the game’s Freedom Cry DLC has not been integrated, its original multiplayer mode has been ditched, and its previous playable modern day sections have been excised. <\/p>\n

Some small modern day story offering will still be included, it sounded like, though the exact details of this are unclear. One things for sure, though, you won’t be wandering around the offices of Abstergo Entertainment as you once did \u2014 something that leaves unanswered implications for the game’s bloodline-related story.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

“With Resynced, we made a clear choice,” Resynced creative director Paul Fu said. “It is a pure, story-driven adventure, and we are fully focused on Edward’s adventures in the Caribbean. As a result of this focus, we have elected to not have the multiplayer, or the DLC. Resynced is a 2026 take on the original legend, and for those of us who are curious, the original will still be available.”<\/p>\n

Black Flag’s previous modern day let you wander around the offices of Abstergo Entertainment, which looked suspiciously like the offices of the game’s real-world developer Ubisoft Montreal. Gameplay here was limited, but players were able to access computers and gather lore, as a parallel story unfolded that focused on franchise baddie Juno and her husband. To be fair, it would be more difficult now, more than a decade later, to put all of this into context \u2014 but it remains to be seen how Black Flag’s full story is told without its inclusion, and fans have previously expressed disappointment after word leaked regarding the change. <\/p>\n

“Back then in 2013, the present day reflected where the franchise was at,” said Assassin’s Creed franchise veteran Jean Guesdon, creative director of the original Black Flag and now Head of Content for the overall series. “It was a transition moment especially with Desmond’s story and what it meant at the time. But now with Resynced, I think there were some changes needed.” <\/p>\n
