Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced's Modern Day Story Replacement Explained

Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced is certainly the most ambitious reimagining in the franchise's long history—a ground-up rebuild of the beloved 2013 pirate epic using the same Anvil Engine technology that powered last year's Assassin's Creed Shadows. But beyond its visual and mechanical overhaul, the remake is taking a bold swing at one of the most divisive aspects of the original game: its modern-day story. Rather than simply updating what was there, Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced is replacing it with something darker, more thematically daring, and supposedly more squarely centered on Edward Kenway himself.
