Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced

Like the original, Resynced is set in the Caribbean during the later years of the Golden Age of Piracy and follows privateer Edward Kenway, combining on-foot exploration with ship-based traversal and naval combat. Built in the latest iteration of the Anvil engine, the remake emphasizes a solo adventure and character-driven experience rather than role-playing elements. It retains the original game's overall world structure while featuring rebuilt character models and environments, along with changes to combat, stealth, parkour, and naval gameplay. Changes to movement and mission design include back ejects, side ejects, a manual crouch option, and revised tailing and eavesdropping missions in which detection no longer automatically results in failure. Combat was revised around more precise parries and shorter combo chains. Other features include recruitable officers for the Jackdaw, expanded underwater exploration, extra ship customization options, dynamic weather effects that influence ship handling, additional story content involving figures such as Blackbeard and Stede Bonnet, and new sea shanties. == Development ==

As such, it utilizes the engine's Micropolygon and Atmos technologies among other visual features. Loading screens from the original when anchoring in a major city have been removed in Black Flag Resynced.
