Ubisoft has just released the first piece of concept art for Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag Resynced, finally confirming its long-awaited remake that has been rumored for years.<\/p>\n
The company included the image in a blog post that offers more detail on the blockbuster franchise’s future \u2014 including word that post-launch support for Assassin’s Creed Shadows was being wound down.<\/p>\n
Ubisoft’s focus is now firmly on the future, though the series’ next all-new entry Assassin’s Creed: Codename Hexe sounds like it’s still some way off. In the meantime, then, Ubisoft has at last begun acknowledging its upcoming Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag remake, which is expected to arrive at some point later this year.<\/p>\n
<\/span><\/p>\n “Speculation around Assassin’s Creed is not new, but it’s worth repeating: ‘Nothing is true. Everything is permitted,'” Ubisoft wrote. “Well, except in this case, some whispers have a little more wind in their sails. Keep your spyglass on the horizon. \ud83e\udd9c”<\/p>\n The project’s official name, Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag Resynced, was first spotted last December, when it popped up via a European ratings board listing. That sighting followed years of internal leaks that pointed to the project’s existence, a boatload of fan speculation and even hints from the original game’s lead actor.<\/p>\n Previous reports have suggested that Black Flag Resynced will be a substantial remake of the series’ beloved piratical entry, with visual and gameplay upgrades that see the game closer in quality to last year’s Assassin’s Creed Shadows.<\/p>\n New story content will reportedly be added to flesh out more of hero Edward Kenway’s life, though the game’s modern day gameplay sections have apparently been excised \u2014 something that many fans aren’t happy about. It will be interesting to see how Ubisoft handles the game’s new ending \u2014 which previously tied together story elements from its historical and modern day narratives \u2014 in light of that change.<\/p>\n Officially, Ubisoft has only previously referred to Black Flag Resynced’s upcoming arrival by acknowledging that there had been an unannounced game due to arrive before the end of its current financial year (on March 31). In January, however this game was then delayed into the coming financial year (ending March 31, 2027) due to the company’s major recent reshuffle of teams, projects and studios.<\/p>\n Tom Phillips is IGN’s News Editor.
