Ubisoft is gearing up for a major announcement with a livestream set for April 23 at 12 p.m. ET, focusing on the highly anticipated remake of Assassin's Creed Black Flag. Viewers can tune in via the publisher's official YouTube and Twitch channels.
The project bears the official title Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced, which has circulated in rumors for several years. Last month, Ubisoft put an end to the guesses by confirming its existence.
Details on the remake's gameplay mechanics or visual updates remain under wraps, with Ubisoft sharing just a piece of promotional artwork showing the lead character Edward Kenway relaxing aboard a vessel. Expect the event to include a trailer that sheds light on key curiosities.
Speculation suggests this will be a comprehensive overhaul rather than a basic adaptation, aligning with the enduring appeal of the original Black Flag. Reports also indicate the refreshed edition might eliminate the contemporary storyline elements, emphasizing solely the swashbuckling pirate adventures.
The wait won't be extensive to learn more. The broadcast could potentially touch on the next core installment in the series, known internally as Codename Hexe, which Ubisoft describes as a fresh, more somber, story-focused take on the Assassin's Creed formula.
