Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced New Game Plus is coming, director promises: “We’re working on that right now”
Ubisoft’s upcoming Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag remake, reportedly titled Black Flag Resynced, will include a New Game Plus mode, according to its director, who said the team is “working on that right now”. That matters because New Game Plus is a popular feature for players who want to replay the game with progress or upgrades carried over, and its inclusion suggests the remake may add more than just visual improvements.
The report centres on a direct statement from the project’s director rather than a formal launch announcement, so it points to a feature in development rather than a confirmed final specification. The article frames this as a notable addition because the original 2013 Black Flag did not include New Game Plus, making it a potentially meaningful gameplay upgrade for returning fans. It also fits broader expectations that a remake of one of the series’ best-known entries will combine modern presentation with quality-of-life changes and expanded replay value.
In short
- Black Flag’s remake is set to get New Game Plus
- The director says the feature is in active development
- It would add replay value beyond a visual overhaul
Explained simply
Assassin's Creed: Black Flag is a 2013 video game from Ubisoft that became one of the most popular entries in the long-running Assassin's Creed franchise. The game combines naval exploration and action-adventure gameplay set in a pirate-era Caribbean.
Ubisoft is developing a remake of Black Flag, reportedly titled Black Flag Resynced, which will bring the game to modern systems with updated graphics and improved gameplay features. New Game Plus is a feature that allows players to replay a completed game whilst retaining some of their progress or upgrades from their first playthrough.
The original Black Flag did not include New Game Plus, so its addition to the remake represents a potential upgrade for returning fans who want to experience the game again. The inclusion of such features suggests Ubisoft is attempting to appeal to both newcomers and established players of the original game.
