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.
