The pirate's life is brought to the modern day with Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced, wherein the classic installment has been remade to contemporary standards. That includes the combat, which is now more in line with what you'd get in current action games, but it's not just a copy-and-paste from other installments in the series.
"We modernized the combat to be more hitbox-based, as modern combat games tend to be, and a little bit more reactive," Jussi Markkanen, tech director on Resynced, tells GamesRadar+. "So, Edward can still use the hidden blades, but as a takedown action in the combat, so making the combat more fluid."
