Ahoy, Gamers! Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced Devs Are Eyeing Future DLC, But What About Freedom Cry?

Well, shiver me timbers! It’s only been a week since Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced set sail, and already, the whispers of future content are echoing across the gaming seas. Our favorite pirate assassin, Edward Kenway, has barely had time to plunder all the loot, but the developers behind this highly anticipated modern refresh are already mulling over what comes next for the Caribbean.

Richard Knight, the Game Director for Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced, has confirmed that there are indeed “DLC ideas” floating around within the team. The focus? Continuing Edward’s thrilling journey and expanding the vibrant world we’ve come to love. “Edward is our focus,” Knight shared, calling him the “heart and soul of the original game.” It sounds like they’re keen to explore more tales with our beloved protagonist at the helm.

Now, we know what many of you are thinking: “What about Freedom Cry?” The standalone expansion starring Adéwalé was a fan-favorite, a powerful narrative that branched off from Edward’s story. It’s only natural for players to hope for a modern reimagining of that epic tale alongside Resynced. However, it seems we might need to temper our expectations a little.

While Knight acknowledges that Freedom Cry is a game they “remember” and that it “needs some modernization work,” he was cautious about making any promises. The challenge lies in its distinct protagonist and setting, which deviates from Edward’s narrative. Plus, the team is currently swamped with keeping the main Black Flag Resynced experience smooth and polished, addressing post-launch tasks, and balancing future plans. Knight candidly admitted, “We’ve got our hands full with this game right now. Freedom Cry, it’s not a small thing either.”

It’s clear the team is dedicated to enhancing the core Black Flag Resynced experience first and foremost. While the yearning for Adéwalé’s return is strong among the community, the developers have to prioritize. So, while DLC is definitely on their minds, don’t expect to see a Freedom Cry remake anytime soon. It’s definitely on their radar as something that would need significant work, but for now, the focus remains squarely on Edward Kenway and his adventures.

In other news for those currently enjoying the game, a recent patch has already rolled out! Good news for anyone frustrated by the unpredictable weather – it’s now fixed. Plus, the update includes some helpful hints for a particularly notorious boss fight. So, if you’ve been battling the elements or a tough enemy, your gameplay experience just got a little smoother.

What are your hopes for future Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced content? Are you holding out for Freedom Cry, or are you excited for new adventures with Edward?
