Ubisoft quietly removes one of Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced’s “best features,” and fans want it back
Ubisoft appears to have removed the ability to toggle protagonist Edward Kenway’s hood during leaps of faith and slides in Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced. Players had praised the small visual option as a cinematic touch, and its disappearance has prompted calls for the company to restore it.
The change seems to have arrived with title update 1.0.4, although Ubisoft’s patch notes did not mention it directly. The article suggests it may be linked to general fixes for clothing or character clipping, or could be unintended; Ubisoft has not confirmed the reason. Fans have posted on Reddit and X asking for the feature’s return, while the development team has recently indicated it is listening to feedback on other cosmetic requests.
In short
- Players want leap-of-faith hood toggling restored.
- Update 1.0.4 apparently removed the option.
- Ubisoft has not explained the change.
Explained simply
Assassin’s Creed is a series of action-adventure games in which players explore historical settings as members of a fictional order of assassins. Black Flag follows Edward Kenway, a pirate and assassin in the Caribbean during the early 18th century; Resynced is a remake of that game.
Players can customise some details of Edward’s appearance, including whether he wears his hood during certain movements. Small visual choices can shape how a character looks during play, even when they do not affect the story or gameplay. Ubisoft develops and publishes the game, and its updates can change or fix features after release.
The reported change has led some players to ask for the option to return. Ubisoft has not explained why it disappeared, so it is unclear whether the change was intentional or related to other fixes.
