Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced is faithful yet like a new product

Technical director Jussi Markkanen says, "From the gameplay perspective, it's still faithful to the original," but adds that "from the technical point of view, Black Flag Resynced is actually almost like a new product. It's built using the latest Anvil engine, the same we used for Assassin's Creed Shadows, and we even improved it further." The team fully remade the game from scratch and added modern rendering tools.

"We have all the latest rendering technologies in place, so for example, we use ray tracing and micropolygon and things like that. It was super important that, even when we use these technologies, we retain the visual identity of the game. We wanted players to know exactly that right from the start, they are in the Black Flag that they remember." Resynced also stitches the world together into a seamless open world.
