Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced is really and truly a remake of the classic pirate adventure, but Ubisoft says it's not taking very many liberties. Resynced is seemingly being faithful to the original game rather than following Capcom or Square Enix's remake playbook.
Speaking to GamesRadar+ about where the remake sits in the series' history, Ubisoft Singapore design director Julian Koch says Black Flag Resynced "is a love letter to the original." But it's still "definitely a remake" because the team have, by and large, literally had to make most things again, from the assets to the combat and parkour.
