‘Please Play When GTA 6 Comes Out’: AC Black Flag Resynced Will Add New Features to Keep You Aboard
Assassin's Creed: Black Flag Resynced director Richard Knight has confirmed that Ubisoft Singapore plans further post-launch support for the recently released remake, including bug fixes and quality-of-life improvements, though no formal roadmap has been announced. Speaking in a video interview, Knight also made a light-hearted appeal for players to stick with the pirate adventure once GTA 6 launches, acknowledging that competing for players' attention against such a major release is a tall order.
Among the changes in development is a New Game Plus mode, though Knight could not give a release timeframe. The team is also working on letting players hide the blowpipe weapon, which currently remains visible on Edward's back even when not equipped, a frequent player complaint, as well as adding the catch ledge mechanic seen in Assassin's Creed Shadows. Knight suggested side objectives for missions could potentially be added too, though this remains unconfirmed.
In short
- Ubisoft plans bug fixes and quality-of-life updates for AC Black Flag Resynced.
- New Game Plus mode is in development, with no release date yet.
- Team is also considering a hideable blowpipe and Shadows-style catch ledge mechanic.
Explained simply
Assassin's Creed: Black Flag is a video game from 2013 where players control a pirate named Edward sailing the Caribbean. The game was popular with players and remains one of the most well regarded games in the long-running Assassin's Creed series.
Ubisoft has recently released Black Flag Resynced, a remake that rebuilds the original game with modern graphics and gameplay for current gaming platforms. The studio behind this remake, Ubisoft Singapore, has committed to supporting the game after launch with new features and improvements.
Post-launch support has become standard practice in the video game industry, with developers typically releasing updates and new content for months or years following a game's release. This ongoing development allows studios to address player feedback and keep their games engaging as they compete for players' time against other entertainment options.
