Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced art changes raise concerns as fans question why a cutscene following a massive storm is now "bright and sunny for no reason"

Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced reveal trailer screenshot shows Edward Kenway steering a ship.

Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced's big reveal last week generally went down a storm, but ironically, it's the absence of a storm in one particular part of the remake's footage that has some fans concerned about how certain scenes might be handled.

As highlighted by YouTube creator JorRaptor, new footage shows a revamped version of the scene where protagonist Edward Kenway first introduces himself to Adéwalé after stealing the Jackdaw and sailing out of a massive storm. However, there's something a little unusual about the remake's version of this – we can see a bright blue sky instead of a murky gloom, and while there are a couple of clouds in the distance, you certainly wouldn't think that Edward had just made it out of treacherous conditions by the skin of his teeth. Similarly, there's no longer any lightning flashing in the background – it looks like a rather pleasant day to be out on a boat, in fact.
