Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced Hides 2096 Sequel in 47-Hour Pirate Remake

Summary
A 47-hour review says Ubisoft’s Black Flag Resynced is effectively a new sequel set in 2096, with a hidden framing story about Abstergo, insurgent Assassins and an information war.
That future plot recasts Edward Kenway’s adventure as propaganda: players are unnamed Animus users, while an AI called Ego inserts false memories to argue that resistance is futile and compliance brings power.
Most of the 2096 story is easy to miss, appearing in four optional 10-15 minute rifts and dozens of text files buried in the Animus hub or scattered as collectibles.
Resynced still faithfully rebuilds the 2013 pirate campaign, but the new wrapper suggests Ubisoft could use future remakes to expand a late-21st-century conflict rather than simply refresh graphics and controls.
