Yesterday, Ubisoft updated the Steam page for 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Assassin's Creeed 4: Black Flag, adding referenc🏅es to several features t🦄hat aren't currently in the game.

As first discovered by , they are as follows:

Custom volume controls;
Stereo sound;
Surround sound;
Mouse-only option;
Adjustable difficulty;
Save anytime.

Rumours abound that Ubisoft is developing a remake of the beloved pirate game—which Edward Kenway actor Matt Ryan even 🏅hinted at earlier this 𒀰year—so it's possible that the original Black Flag will be supplanted by the new version. That's exactly what happened with the Assassin's Creed 3 remaster in 2019, so there's already a ﷽precedent.

Now might be the time to buy B♐lack Flag if you don't already own it—the game is just $11.99 on Steam right now.

Other games, like BioShock, the GTA trilogy, and 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Dark Souls, likewise received remasters that replaced the originals, which has always been a point of contention among fans. These new versions of beloved classics are untested and can even release in a worse state, reintroducing old bu🦋gs or having AI upscaled textures as in the case of GTA. Another major concern is how delisting the original games oftentimes walls off new players from experiencing iconic and classic mods from the community. Understandably then, the mere idea of Ubisoft doing the same with Black Flag is proving controversial.

"If They Replace The OG Game With The Remake I'll Lose It"

Commenters say that it would be a "terrible idea", and that they "won't support it if they do this". Others are more hopeful, clinging onto the idea that Ubisoft might bundle the Black Flag remake—or possibly remaster—with the original. Though it's worth noting Assassin's Creed 3 did not do this, s🎀o it's very unlikely.

Some fans have claimed that if this happens, you won't be able to dow✨nload the orig𒁏inal, but that isn't true. You just won't be able to buy it anymore.

At any rate, there is an upside to this news. With backend changes to the Steam store ramping up, it's possible that Ubisoft is getting ready to finally announce the remake. The French publishing giant will reportedly release two more 𝔉Assassin's Creed games this year, with one speculated ✤to be the multiplayer Fall Guys-style spin-off, Invictus, and the other Black Flag, so 🎶it lines up with the timeline that we currently have.
