Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced is a remake, but it’s more than just a glow-up of the original. Rebuilt on the latest version of Anvil Engine with new quests, locations, characters and even end-game content, it’s as close to a mainline release as fans will get. So it makes sense that it reportedly commands the same level of development resources.
Insider Gaming’s Tom Henderson claims to have heard that 15 different Ubisoft studios worked on the title. Ubisoft Singapore is leading development (obviously), but Barcelona, Belgrade, Bordeaux, Bucharest, Chengdu, Da Nang, India, Montpellier, Philippines, Kyiv, Montreal, Shanghai, Sofia and Quebec are also apparently involved.
All in all, it’s the same number of studios that worked on Assassin’s Creed Shadows, and pretty much par for the course when it comes to major Ubisoft titles. However, it’s worth noting that recent restructuring has resulted in Belgrade shutting down and Barcelona facing layoffs.
Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced launches on July 9th for Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and PC, having recently gone gold.
