Somewhere among the waves of Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced is a remote island, upon which stands a church. In the original game, that church wasn't there. But its existence in the remake is part of an effort to revitalize the Caribbean, bringing Black Flag up to scratch with modern-era counterparts like Assassin's Creed Shadows and Mirage without sacrificing the classic feel of the original.
With the series having changed almost beyond recognition over the 13 years between original and remake, keeping the core experience recognizable while pulling a PS3-era title in-line with modern Assassin's Creed is no mean feat. But while that church might be just one tiny detail in the context of a full-scale remake, this one isolated, innocuous building helps explain how Resynced is breathing new life into Black Flag's Caribbean.
