Enhanced side content includes additional Animus Rifts, officer side missions, more rewards, new world events, and hideout upgrades.
Stealth missions no longer fail instantly on detection, and players can skip time to set preferred mission times.

Ubisoft is releasing Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced, a full remake of the 2013 pirate classic, rebuilt from the ground up for modern systems.

Players can recruit three new officers for the Jackdaw, tied to progression milestones.
