After the divisive Assassin’s Creed 3, it felt like a real return to form.Now, Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced is on the way July 9, and it’s the first proper remake Ubisoft has done for the series (though there have been several remasters).

As you may remember, it ends with a “To be continued…”, suggesting more is in the offing.
