How was your approach to post-launch content in Assassin’s Creed Shadows different than recent franchise installations?

Simon Lemay-Comtois: There was a big shift between Assassin’s Creed Valhalla’s post-launch strategy and that of Shadows. Valhalla was known for big, chunky, polished, gigantic updates back-to-back, and the community responded pretty well to that. With Shadows, the post-launch approach has been more iterative and more responsive to player feedback than for other recent entries. We still had a major standalone expansion with Claws of Awaji, but beyond that, we released smaller, more targeted updates that let us react quickly to what players were telling us and what we were seeing in how they pla

How Player Feedback Shaped Assassin’s Creed Shadows’ Journey After Launch - XBOX Wire
What have been some of the biggest impacts of community feedback in Assassin’s Creed Shadows’ post-launch content?

SLC: There have been several big impacts. I would say the most obvious one has been the parkour updates that we’ve done; we basically had an almost complete overhaul of the parkour during post-launch.

I was lucky to get another crack at it and have a lot of discussions with the parkour enthusiasts, content creators, fan base, and community who were extremely vocal but constructive. Through several workshops, discussions, and long sessions of

What is Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced? 

Black Flag Resynced is a full-blown remake of the classic Black Flag. It is built from the ground up using the same tech that powered 2025’s Assassin’s Creed Shadows. Ubisoft confirmed with Kotaku that this new remake contains zero code, assets, or files from the original Black Flag. It is a brand new game that is trying to be a faithful remake of the original, while adding some new content and making some big and small changes.

Why is Ubisoft remaking Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag?

Good question! The real, actual answer is that games take a long time to make and are very expensive. So while Ubisoft’s various teams work on new entries in the series, like Hexe, the publisher had Ubisoft Singapore (Skull and Bones) develop a remake of one of the most popular games in the series. It’s a safe bet in an industry currently paralyzed by risk. But Ubisoft also says that it wanted to remake Black Flag because it made sense in 2026. Here’s Paul Knight, the game’s director, explaining why the remake is happening via a recent interview with Kotaku: “If you just ignore the number—Assa
