Creative director Paul Fu also said that "it's definitely an old-school, classic Assassin's Creed" despite all of its changes.
It looks like we're not the only lot who have a special place in our hearts for Kenway and his journey to becoming an Assassin.
While the plot threads left by Assassin's Creed 3 were important at the time, Richard Knight said the team wanted to focus on Edward instead.
Set after Edward Kenway's original story wraps up, the new missions focus on his confrontations with the infamous Robert Miller.
We got some time with the upcoming remake, and we’ve got quite a bit to say about how the Jackdaw could be the best part of the experience.
Edward Kenway is back, and he's looking sharper and hitting harder than he ever has in a remake that has us quite excited to return to the Caribbean.
The company has also confirmed its plans to release new Assassin's Creed, Far Cry, and Ghost Recon games before March 2029.
Roam the various towns and settlements on the Caribbean Sea without a heads-up display, or turn it back on with a simple button press.
Matt Ryan describes the new scenes as having "just jumped off the page" and not just present for "the sake of filling" out the story.
Dive underwater anywhere in the remake, though beware: Sharks still roam the waters and remain as merciless as ever to Assassins.
The leak also indicates that Ezio's appearance as a mentor in the game is likelier to be the result of Isu technology or memory discs.
The protagonist of Assassin's Creed Codename Hexe is reportedly named Anika, and has been described as a descendent of Claudia Auditore.
A leaker has also posted pictures of key art indicating Alaska as the main setting, and an early look at one of the protagonists.
Those keen on a more classic movement system can also turn off the newly-added Manual Jump and Advanced Parkour abilities.
Watch Edward crouch anywhere, anytime, without restrictions, parkour through dynamic rain and execute the iconic Leap of Faith.
Details continue to pour in for this remake, from HUD customization to the omission of another key feature from the original.
Gameplay footage has indicated that Invictus involves characters from the franchise fighting in arenas from Mirage and Odyssey.
The standalone multiplayer title, which allegedly follows the Fall Guys format, has remained AWOL since its announcement in 2022.
The development team at Ubisoft also confirms remappable controls and the decision to replace the minimap with a compass.
Despite some concerns about the lack of DLC and multiplayer, the remake has elicited a very positive response from fans.
