One of the striking highlights that has evolved with time in the Assassin’s Creed franchise is it’s realistic depiction of violence which is now as brutal as it’s ever been on last year’s Shadows, but the recently unveiled trailer for the upcoming Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced oddly left out all blood and other forms of gore from the on-screen action. However, it’s just been confirmed that the modernized version of the 2013 classic Black Flag will have all the violence you expect from the Assassin’s Creed series of games and won’t be in the form of any DLC either.
Producer Justin Ng has recently confirmed on social media: “A few things to quickly address I guess (without getting into trouble hopefully) There WILL be blood in the final game, and it will not be a paid DLC. We hear the feedback on the VFX and audio cues on fight. It’s being toned down.”
Also, just like the original, the upcoming Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced is rated M for Mature by the ESRB, with its content description warning people about blood and violence.
The remake will also stay true to the DNA of the 2013 classic by not featuring any of the RPG elements that’s now become a hallmark of the modern-day era of Assassin’s Creed titles starting from Origins which is great news for all players who have loved the original.
The highly anticipated remake of the classic 2013 title also features a heavily reworked combat system since the original would feel terribly out-of-place in the current-day era of gaming in more ways than one. The new combat mechanics feels a whole lot more fluid and seamless while also featuring a more intuitive HUD with two mini-menus in each bottom corner which allows for seamless switching between the different types of weapons and items.
Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced is slated to be released on July 9th.
