As Black Flag Resynced’s audio evolves, one dev admits some things stay the same: “Edward drowning is me!”
An article from GamesRadar+ reports on the audio development of Black Flag Resynced, an updated version of the pirate-themed Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag. The piece focuses on how the game's sound design is being reworked and refreshed, while noting that certain elements from the original production have been retained.
In discussing the process, one developer offered a light-hearted admission that some sounds remain unchanged from before, joking that "Edward drowning is me!" — indicating that the developer personally supplied the voice or sound effect used when the protagonist, Edward Kenway, drowns. The remark highlights the blend of new audio work and preserved original recordings in the project. (Note: the supplied article body contained only page styling code rather than the full text, so further specific details, figures or quotes could not be extracted.)
