‘Please Play Us When GTA 6 Comes Out’: Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced Developer Teases Post-Game Support
The director of Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced, Richard Knight, has suggested the newly-launched pirate remake will continue receiving post-launch support well into November, when the eagerly awaited GTA 6 is set to release. Speaking to YouTuber JorRaptor, Knight said continued support "doesn't feel like a crazy bet", citing plans to fix bugs and add quality-of-life improvements, while jokingly asking fans to keep playing Resynced even once GTA 6 arrives. The comments matter because GTA 6's looming release has prompted many studios to shift their own launches away from its window, making Ubisoft's apparent confidence in sustaining Resynced's player base notable.
Knight confirmed that a New Game Plus mode, already teased by Ubisoft last week alongside news that the game has sold three million copies, is actively in development, partly because a version already exists from Assassin's Creed Shadows. No release date was given. The article also speculates about other possible additions, such as a challenge mode similar to one in Assassin's Creed Mirage, and notes fan hopes for a remake of the original Black Flag's Freedom Cry DLC, though Ubisoft has given no indication this is planned. IGN's review scored the remake 9/10, praising it as more than a visual refresh of the 2013 original.
