‘No Levels, No Gear Scores’: Ubisoft Really Wants You to Know Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag Resynced Is Not an RPG

by

Ubisoft is emphasizing that the new Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag Resynced feels different from their more recent games. While those newer titles are the most popular in the series, many longtime fans have been wanting a return to the gameplay style of the older Assassin’s Creed games, before the release of Origins.

The new PS5 version of Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag aims to stay faithful to the original game while also enhancing it in various ways. The developers consistently emphasize this goal, even in smaller updates about the game. For example, in a detailed article explaining how players can customize the on-screen display, they made a point of reiterating this commitment.

Okay, so even though the game shows health and defense bars by default, don’t let that fool you – Black Flag Resynced is still all about action and adventure! The fighting feels pretty much the same as the original, and those bars are just there if you want them. What I really like is that there’s no leveling up, no worrying about gear scores, and nothing blocking my progress – you just jump in and play!

This statement confirms what game director Richard Knight shared during the game’s announcement: Assassin’s Creed: Black Resynced is very important to both the development team and players. That’s why they completely rebuilt it, focusing on quality. The game will be a single-player experience centered around the story and characters, and it won’t be a role-playing game.

Beyond better graphics and performance, Ubisoft has made combat more fast-paced and added more ways to play stealthily. They’ve also expanded the story with new quests. However, Ubisoft says the core story and action-adventure gameplay of Black Flag Resynced remain the same.
