· 3 pulledWhen we first explored the idea of bringing Edward Kenway's journey to modern hardware, it quickly became clear that a traditional remaster wouldn't be enough to do it justice.
Instead, we rebuilt the game from the ground up on the latest version of the Anvil engine, modernizing nearly every system while preserving the spirit and identity of the original game.
The result is an experience tailored to take full advantage of modern hardware while keeping the soul of Black Flag intact.
