Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced is a game that's already received glowing reviews and is on track to be one of the best-selling games in the franchise. But the developers aren't resting on their laurels. They're planning to support the game post-release with new features and updates, including New Game+ and a blowpipe mechanic. However, they're also aware of the looming threat of Grand Theft Auto 6, which could potentially overshadow their game and lead to a decline in player interest. This is a concern that game director Richard Knight is addressing head-on. In a recent interview, Knight pleaded with gamers to play Black Flag Resynced even when GTA 6 is released, saying, 'I mean, it’s a pretty reasonable guess. Also, please play us when GTA 6 comes out.' This is a funny, albeit honest, realization that a lot of games will be forgotten once GTA 6 is released. In the same interview, Knight mentioned that New Game+ is something they are working on right now. He also confirmed that a blowpipe and how it can be hidden from Edward’s back are being worked on, though no timetable has been set. Another feature that players might enjoy is the catch ledge system, which is similar to a parkour safety net. The developers are also looking to add side objectives to missions, but there's no timetable for when this will be available. One thing players might not see in Black Flag Resynced is hidden blade combat, which has been demanded by the community. However, the developers can't make any promises. Despite these challenges, Knight remains optimistic about the game's future. He believes that Ubisoft's support of Assassin's Creed Shadows with not just DLC but also new features and free content post-release will be a model for Black Flag Resynced. He also encourages players to take advantage of the free gift offered by Ubisoft as a thank you for hitting 2 million sold units and establishing an all-time high on Steam. Overall, Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced is a game that's worth playing, and the developers are committed to supporting it post-release with new features and updates. However, they're also aware of the challenges posed by the release of Grand Theft Auto 6, and they're taking steps to address these concerns.
