About a week after its worldwide reveal showcase, Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced has already reached one million wishlists. Ubisoft confirmed in a new tweet that this is across all platforms, and with the remake launching on July 9th, you can expect it to be even higher by then.
As a ground-up remake of the 2013 classic, Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag, Resynced is developed on the latest version of Ubisoft’s Anvil Engine. Since it shares tech with Assassin’s Creed Shadows, you can expect features like Atmos for the dynamic weather, enhanced parkour (which still retains Edward’s signature moves), and even mechanics like Observe Mode.
Of course, there have been several changes as well, and not everything has sat well with players. For instance, PvP and DLC, including expansions like Freedom Cry, aren’t included. Creative director Paul Fu also confirmed that you can’t select the Hidden Blade as a separate weapon, instead relying on it in combat as a contextual takedown after breaking an enemy’s defense.
While the reaction from that isn’t positive, it’s clear that not including all of the original’s content hasn’t affected the remake’s popularity. For more details on what you can expect, check out our feature from the reveal and a follow-up on all the latest details.
