- Assassin’s Creed Black Flag resynchronized Creative director Paul Fu says the team “expanded” Edward Kenway’s story with new content.
- Fu says the team wanted to stick to the original “as much as possible.”
- The team further explored the theme of “greed.”
Assassin’s Creed Black Flag resynchronized Creative director Paul Fu has confirmed that Ubisoft did not alter Edward Kenway’s story in the upcoming remake, but did expand on the character with additional content.
Speaking in an interview with TechRadar Gaming in a Resynchronized Black Flag At the preview event in Paris, Fu explained that the team didn’t feel obligated to change anything about Kenway’s introduction to make it more developed and that they wanted to stick as closely as possible to the Black Flag Writer Darby McDevitt’s original vision “as much as possible.”
the story of Black Flag begins with Kenway already equipped with his athletic parkour skills as a pirate, before joining the Brotherhood as an official assassin. While Fu understands why some would think his abilities should be explained, he said the team didn’t feel the need to do so.
“We didn’t play with the idea of changing the leap of faith or anything like that,” Fu said, “because I understand there’s a line of thinking: ‘Why was Edward able to do all these things even though he wasn’t a murderer?’ But it was explained very well in the original game, where it says: “Everything is allowed.” I think that line is really famous. And we decided, okay, that’s enough for us. “We’re going to stick to it.”
Fu refers to the Brotherhood’s central tenet, “Nothing is true, everything is permitted,” but in the story, Kenway initially interprets it selfishly as “Everything is permitted? I like the sound of that,” before finding more meaning in the words.
While Kenway’s story hasn’t changed, the developers explored the “greed” theme from the original game and “expanded it with the new content.”
“I won’t tell you too much, but we thought it was a strong juxtaposition of who he is, who his inner self is, deep down he’s a really nice guy who wants to provide for his family and loves his friends, but because of greed, things don’t happen in his favor,” Fu explained.
“And we felt that that theme was very, very strong, a little dark in the original. Black Flag. [We] “We wanted to expand it and we did.”
Assassin’s Creed Black Flag resynchronized launches on July 9 for PS5, Xbox Series X and Series S, and PC.
