Ubisoft Singapore led the project to remake the popular 2013 game with modern gameplay and graphics alongside 14 other Ubisoft studios. French game developer Ubisoft has unveiled Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced, the company's first-ever remake, with development led by its Singapore studio alongside 14 other Ubisoft studios.
A reimagining of 2013's critically acclaimed Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag, the game returns players to the Caribbean Sea in the early 18th century, where they once again take on the role of pirate assassin Edward Kenway in a swashbuckling high-seas adventure. Available now, the remake uses the latest Ubisoft game engine to deliver richer and more immersive graphics such as weather systems and realistic waves, while also updating the gameplay system to modern standards by adding the ability to crouch and hide, improved combat, and more story.
The remake is also the first title from the Assassin's Creed franchise to be led by a studio in Asia, with other games led by outposts in Canada and France. Which explains the palpable sense of pride during the launch event at Ubisoft Singapore's office. The predominantly local staff had arranged exhibits featuring hand-made assets taken from the game as well as adorable crochets of sea animals.
There's a good reason for this: Since it opened in 2008, Ubisoft Singapore has been contributing to the popular franchise since Assassin's Creed III. The studio also had a hand in developing the naval combat and water physics elements in Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag, before embarking on the ambitious Skull And Bones project that came out in 2024.
And for those with keen eyes, the remake also features some Singapore references, including durians, a map of Singapore, and a Merlion figurehead located on the bow of a sunken ship. Despite it being a remake, Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced was rebuilt from the ground up and not just a copy paste job, and this included new animations, audio clips, and level design.
However, the studio did try to retain the vocal performance of the original game as much as possible, and also brought back the original cast to record additional lines for existing and new content. Thanks to the new engine, Ubisoft Singapore had to work on creating new combat movements, factor in 3D sound for a more immersive experience, and rework the maps to take in the new movements and interactive environments.
Ubisoft Singapore was the lead developer for Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced, a remake of the popular 2013 game, alongside 14 other Ubisoft studios. Pretty much most things have to be built from scratch, since our game engine, Anvil, had significantly evolved since then.
We had to recreate the various gameplay features and systems from the original game, improve and modernise them while also adding new features based off recent Assassin's Creed titles and adapting them for Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced, said Terry Han, content director. All quests had to be built from ground up, and prop assets, most of which are destructible, had to be newly created with upgraded visuals.
Interestingly, staff who were involved in the original Black Flag game were also involved in the remake. For example, audio director Erik-Jon Evangelista had originally provided the drowning sound of the game's protagonist, Edward Kenway, by diving underwater multiple times to simulate a drowning sound. For the remake, he decided to reuse his original sound. A panel session with developers who worked on the original Black Flag, with lead producer Justin Ng moderating
