Exclusive Edward and Caroline Cutscene
IGN • • technology
Key Points:
- Ubisoft's Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced is a comprehensive remake using the Anvil engine, featuring major gameplay overhauls and story expansions, including new chapters and characters.
- Darby McDevitt, the original lead writer and WGA nominee, returned as a consultant to deepen Edward Kenway’s character, adding three new cutscenes that explore his motivations and relationships, especially with his wife Caroline.
- The remake emphasizes Edward's personal struggles, including his desire to provide for Caroline and the challenges of privateering versus piracy, adding emotional depth previously less explored in the original.
- Modern-day story elements from the original game are omitted in Resynced to align with the current Assassin’s Creed narrative, with McDevitt focusing solely on enriching the historical storyline.
- McDevitt reflects positively on revisiting and expanding the story after 13 years, viewing the project as an opportunity to refine and enhance the narrative without compromising its original essence.
