The first major update for Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag Resynced has today been released by Ubisoft. Since releasing one week ago, the new Assassin’s Creed remake has already gone on to be hugely successful. Not only has Black Flag Resynced generally been well-received by critics and players, but it has also already sold over two million copies. Now, in the wake of this early success, Ubisoft is looking to make the game just a bit better than before.
Downloadable now across PS5, Xbox, and PC platforms, update version 1.0.4 for Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag Resynced is a pretty sizable one. Rather than making any sweeping changes to gameplay, however, this patch is tied exclusively to bug fixes. Ubisoft has made dozens of small refinements to the game based on feedback from players, which should lead to Black Flag Resynced being much less buggy than before.
Moving forward, more updates for Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag Resynced are surely on the horizon. These upcoming patches could look to make some much bigger changes to the title that could rework gameplay mechanics and systems in new ways. Whether any wholly new content will be coming to Black Flag Resynced in the weeks and months ahead, however, is something that Ubisoft has yet to confirm.
For now, if you’d like to get a look at everything that has been done to Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag Resynced with today’s update, you can find the full patch notes below.
