In response, producer Justin Ng has now addressed the situation via social media, and confirmed that gameplay shown during the reveal had been &#8220;toned down.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">&#8220;A few things to quickly address I guess (without getting into trouble hopefully),&#8221; Ng wrote on X\/Twitter. &#8220;There WILL be blood in the final game, and it will not be a paid DLC. We hear the feedback on the VFX and audio cues on fight. It&#8217;s being toned down.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">The situation sounds similar to when Resident Evil Requiem popped up recently in a Nintendo livestream. No blood was shown there either, presumably to ensure the broadcast was suitable for as wide an audience as possible. (At least in the Black Flag Resynced reveal, Edward was still able to land his shots.)<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Ubisoft has included an option to turn off blood in most recent Assassin&#8217;s Creed games, including Odyssey, Valhalla and Shadows. Presumably, the same toggle will exist in Black Flag Resynced \u2014 and was switched on to showcase the game yesterday. A+ news all round, hopefully.<\/p>\n<p><output class=\"box-wrapper jsx-2673806401\" data-cy=\"article-slideshow\"><button type=\"button\" style=\"display:none\" class=\"jsx-2228525885\"\/><span data-cy=\"slideshow-view-trigger\"><\/p>\n<div data-cy=\"slideshow-preview\" class=\"jsx-1711207865 slideshow-preview\">\n<h3 class=\"title5 jsx-62124236 jsx-1085005187\" data-cy=\"slideshow-preview-title\">Assassin&#8217;s Creed Black Flag Resynced Screenshots<\/h3>\n<div data-cy=\"slideshow-images-container\" class=\"jsx-1711207865 images-container\"><button type=\"button\" data-cy=\"hero-image\" aria-label=\"Open Slideshow\" class=\"jsx-1711207865 hero-image\"><img alt=\"\" aria-hidden=\"true\" decoding=\"async\" role=\"presentation\" class=\"progressive-image jsx-2021719738 image aspect-ratio aspect-ratio-16-9 jsx-2605834259 jsx-2338608387 hover-opacity\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-cy=\"progressive-image\"\/><span class=\"button-text jsx-729543028 button button--primary jsx-3381835873 jsx-4266531355 row-pagination-button next contained centered round large\" data-cy=\"paginate next\" title=\"Open Slideshow\"><span class=\"ign-icon right-chevron jsx-2750866048 jsx-2919720488\" role=\"presentation\" aria-hidden=\"true\" data-cy=\"right-chevron\" style=\"mask:url(https:\/\/kraken.ignimgs.com\/_next\/static\/media\/RightChevron.272be43c.svg?cors=1) no-repeat center center \/ contain;background:currentColor\"\/><\/span><\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/output><\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Ng also replied to a fan asking whether the original Black Flag&#8217;s social stealth mechanics would be maintained, allowing players to blend into groups and hire dancers to distract enemies. &#8220;It&#8217;s still there #Faithful,&#8221; Ng confirmed.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Response to yesterday&#8217;s livestream was otherwise mostly positive, although some of the stream&#8217;s chat participants could be seen complaining that the game&#8217;s popular Freedom Cry DLC would not be integrated. Currently, the suggestion is this content won&#8217;t be remade and sold separately either.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Over on reddit, some fans have pointed out the reuse of certain animations from past Assassin&#8217;s Creed games, such as a particular neck pull and sword stab from Assassin&#8217;s Creed Unity, and other moves from the more recent Assassin&#8217;s Creed Mirage. But this practice of reusing animations is far from new in the franchise. In cutscenes, meanwhile, it looks like the original game&#8217;s performancs and motion capture are also preserved.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Assassin&#8217;s Creed: Black Flag Resynced will finally launch on July 9 priced at $59.99, and there&#8217;s a $200 Collector&#8217;s Edition, too.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\"><em>Tom Phillips is IGN&#8217;s News Editor.
