Assassin’s Creed Fans Divided Over New Leaks

by

So, there’s been a ton of talk about the potential *Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag* remake, and some new leaks are causing a real stir. Apparently, Ubisoft might be ditching all the modern-day stuff – you know, the sections where you’re *not* in the Animus. Honestly, it’s split the fanbase right down the middle. Most of the *Black Flag* we all loved, and a lot of the other games too, had those present-day missions, and some of us really like them. Others seem happy to just focus on the historical pirate stuff, but it’s definitely a controversial move.

Throughout the *Assassin’s Creed* series, characters existing outside of the historical simulations have been central to the overall story. Desmond Miles, the first character to experience the game in the present day, linked the past events to a futuristic setting. While some players appreciate how these modern-day sections add depth, others feel they disrupt the gameplay and slow down the action. Recent leaks about a possible remake of *Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag* have brought this discussion back to the forefront.

Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag May Remove Modern-Day Gameplay

A recent leak about the upcoming remake of *Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag* indicated that some content outside of the Animus – a key part of the game’s story device – might be removed. The good news is this lost material could be replaced with more story focused on Edward Kenway, the game’s main pirate character. Since the leak appeared, *Assassin’s Creed* fans have been discussing whether this potential change by Ubisoft is a good thing or not.

Some players want to remove the parts of the game that aren’t directly about the historical assassins, believing it would lead to better level design. However, others feel these story sections, especially those featuring characters like Desmond, are what make the *Assassin’s Creed* series special and give it its unique identity. A number of fans suggest that instead of cutting these segments entirely, Ubisoft could use the upcoming *Black Flag* remake to revamp the modern-day storyline and potentially even bring Desmond back into the game.

Even though people are still discussing it, Ubisoft appears to be focusing less on the present-day parts of the *Assassin’s Creed* games. For example, *Assassin’s Creed Shadows* has less modern-day gameplay, treating it more like a bonus way to learn about the story. If the rumors are true and they remake *Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag*, it would likely continue this trend.

I’m really excited about the possibility of a *Black Flag* remake, and I’ve been reading a lot of speculation about how they might update the story. It sounds like they could use the Animus Hub from the latest game, *Shadows*, instead of the traditional flashbacks and flashforwards. Basically, the Animus Hub is like a main menu where you can access extra story content related to the modern-day parts of the *Assassin’s Creed* universe. But it’s important to remember that Ubisoft hasn’t actually *confirmed* a remake is happening – everything we’re talking about right now is just based on rumors and leaks, so take it all with a grain of salt!
