Assassin's Creed has slowly been peeling the modern day elements out of the series' recent games, so much so that Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced is stripping the original of its Abstergo sections entirely. Why? Well, the remake's game director says Desmond's story is less of an urgent topic in 2026 than it was in 2013,.
Speaking to GamesRadar+ about the forthcoming pirate adventure, game director Richard Knight says that from the beginning of production, the team "knew we wanted to remake Black Flag," but didn't want to create a one-to-one version.
