Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag Resynced Gets Major Update With New Features

Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag Resynced has today received a massive new update across all platforms. Since its successful launch back in July, Ubisoft has slowly been pushing out new features and improvements to Black Flag Resynced based on feedback from players. Now, the developer has let loose another similar patch that looks to make countless bug fixes while also introducing some new tweaks that players have been requesting in droves.

Downloadable now across PS5, Xbox, and PC, update version 1.07 for Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag Resynced is one of the biggest that the game has seen so far. The most prominent new feature that Ubisoft has added with this patch is tied to Edward Kenway’s appearance, as players will now be able to hide his pistols if they so choose. While this is a small tweak, it allows players to have more control over how Edward looks. Beyond this, Ubisoft has also added a new dog that players can find and rescue. Upon doing so, the pooch will then appear at Edward’s hideout.

Outside of these changes, numerous bug fixes have also been pushed out with this patch. Some of these resolutions are tied to specific quests, while others are related to the visuals of Black Flag Resynced. Gameplay refinements have also been made as well, which should make the new Assassin’s Creed remake better to play than before.
