You are sailing the crystal-clear waters of the Caribbean, your crew is belting out “Leave Her Johnny” at the top of their lungs, and you are just seconds away from boarding a massive Spanish Galleon. Then, suddenly, the screen glitches. You are ripped out of the Animus and forced to walk around a sterile, corporate office building in first-person view, carrying a tablet and listening to IT complaints. If you played the original 2013 release, you know this pacing whiplash all too well. However, in Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced<\/a>, players quickly noticed that the infamous Abstergo Entertainment modern-day segments are completely gone.<\/p>\n

Editor’s Note<\/h3>\n

As a hardcore fan who spent hundreds of hours 100% completing the original game, the forced Abstergo office segments were always the biggest roadblock during replays. Having tested the streamlined mechanics of Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced, I can confidently say that removing the “walking simulator” aspect is the single greatest pacing improvement Ubisoft has made to this remake. It keeps you locked into the pirate fantasy where you belong.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

TL;DR: The Short Answer<\/h2>\n

If you just want the quick facts on why the modern-day office segments were cut from Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced<\/a>, here is the breakdown:<\/p>\n

\u2726<\/span>Pacing and Immersion:<\/strong> Ubisoft removed the first-person office segments to eliminate the jarring interruptions that broke the immersion of Edward Kenway’s pirate adventure.<\/div>\n
\u2726<\/span>The Animus Hub Shift:<\/strong> Modern-day narrative elements in the current franchise are now handled via the overarching “Animus Hub” (formerly Infinity), making standalone modern-day gameplay segments redundant.<\/div>\n
\u2726<\/span>Engine Capabilities:<\/strong> The new Anvil engine eliminates the need for long, hidden loading screens, which the original modern-day segments often masked.<\/div>\n
\u2726<\/span>Replaced by “The Black Tides”:<\/strong> Instead of office hacking, endgame lore and connections to Assassin’s Creed Shadows are now seamlessly integrated into a new in-Animus questline called The Black Tides.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
