SummaryAssassin\u2019s Creed Black Flag Resynced, coming to Xbox Series X|S July 9, revitalizes a fan-favorite adventure with state-of-the-art visuals, gameplay upgrades, and new content.Black Flag Resynced has received a tech overhaul, with ray tracing, Dolby Atmos, seamless environments and dynamic weather effects.Quality of life improvements across ground and sea offer a more immersive experience, and expect some fresh content featuring the talents of original Edward voice actor Matt Ryan.<\/p>\n

As one of the Xbox One\u2019s headline launch window games in November 2013, Assassin\u2019s Creed IV: Black Flag became synonymous with the console\u2019s release. Many of you might have fond memories of picking up the two together, booting up the console for the first time, and stepping into the sun-drenched Caribbean rendered in higher definition than ever before, the lazy holiday period spread out in front of you. Bliss.<\/p>\n

At Ubisoft, we wanted to capture the essence of that experience and recreate it for the current generation of hardware. This is Assassin\u2019s Creed Black Flag Resynced, an enhanced, faithful remake of the original game built from the ground up in the latest version of the Anvil engine. We\u2019re thrilled to share some of the game\u2019s most important new features for those of you who journeyed alongside Captain Edward Kenway back in 2013 \u2013 as well as those excited to jump into Black Flag\u2019s world for the very first time.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

New Tech Means New Detail<\/p>\n

Rendered in the Anvil Engine, Black Flag Resynced features ray tracing, Dolby Atmos and more, which means, among other things, that the world will feel and look more lived-in and vibrant.<\/p>\n

The Anvil Atmos system allowed the developers at Ubisoft Singapore to create a dynamic weather system, which means you\u2019ll experience winds and waves, violent storms and serene sun as you journey across the Caribbean Sea. Plus, loading screens are gone.<\/p>\n

Quality of Life Improvements on Ground Level and At Sea<\/p>\n

Everything has been designed to make Edward\u2019s movements on ground level more fluid and snappier. There are a lot of improvements in this area which we\u2019ll outline more thoroughly in the future, but we\u2019re delighted to give you some highlights:<\/p>\n

Combat has been reworked to focus on visceral takedowns and new parrying mechanics, as well as quick-fire rope dart and pistol moves.<\/p>\n

Edward can now crouch any time, affecting enemy visibility at medium to long range.<\/p>\n

Tailing missions have changed. If you get spotted during a tailing mission in Assassin\u2019s Creed Resynced, you\u2019ll still be able to complete the mission, whereas previously you\u2019d be desynchronized.<\/p>\n

Observe mode allows Edward to observe his environment and find his quest objectives, clues, and tag enemies.<\/p>\n

Ziplines have been scattered throughout the city, allowing Edward to traverse from high up to ground level quickly.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Ubisoft Singapore has fully revamped naval combat and exploration in Assassin\u2019s Creed Resynced. Highlights include:<\/p>\n

A host of secondary weapons have been added to Edward\u2019s ship, the Jackdaw.<\/p>\n

Enemy ships and factions have alliances and enemies which will affect their behaviour and loadouts.<\/p>\n

Bring along a pet to join you as you sail.<\/p>\n

Recruit three officers \u2013 play through their three unique side quests to assign them to your crew. Each will bring a new gameplay feature to naval combat.<\/p>\n

New shanties \u2013 enjoy 10 brand new songs alongside all the others you remember.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

New Missions<\/p>\n

While we won\u2019t spoil anything, we\u2019re excited to share that additional missions and new scenes have been added to Assassin\u2019s Creed Black Flag Resynced, featuring performances from original Edward voice actor Matt Ryan.<\/p>\n
