Ubisoft's upcoming remake of Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag is stirring mixed reactions as reports confirm the removal of modern-day gameplay elements. The modern narrative, which originally allowed players to explore Abstergo Entertainment and connect with the overarching Assassin’s Creed story, has been cut. In an effort to compensate for this content loss, Ubisoft plans to introduce new pirate-themed storylines, including additional content featuring Mary Read, a fellow pirate. Although combat and gear systems will see significant overhauls to align with modern gameplay standards, many fans express concern about the absence of the modern-day sections, which they believe are essential to the franchise’s identity.

Fans have been vocal about their disappointment, fearing that removing these sections might dilute the storyline that connects Edward Kenway’s adventures with the broader Assassin's Creed universe.
