There are no levels, no gear scores and no progression gates.&#8221;<\/p>\n<section data-transform=\"slideshow\" data-slug=\"the-complete-assassins-creed-timeline\" data-value=\"the-complete-assassins-creed-timeline\" data-type=\"slug\" data-caption=\"\"><\/section>\n<p>This is not the first time Ubisoft has sought to distance Assassin&#8217;s Creed Black Flag Resynced from more recent games that have leaned into RPG mechanics to a greater and lesser extent, presumably in order to ensure the title launches to the widest possible audience \u2014 and doesn&#8217;t give the suggestion it has been changed beyond recognition. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Assassin&#8217;s Creed: Black Flag Resynced matters deeply to us, and to you,&#8221; game director Richard Knight said <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ign.com\/articles\/assassins-creed-black-flag-resynced-has-major-changes\">during the game&#8217;s recent unveiling<\/a>. &#8220;That&#8217;s why we took the time to rebuild it with the care it deserves. This remains a solo adventure and character-driven experience. It is not an RPG. The focus stays on how you play, and how you explore the world.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Similar to Assassin&#8217;s Creed Shadows, Ubisoft has made Black Flag Resynced&#8217;s HUD fully customizable, allowing players to enable or disable most elements and pick from several preset defaults. For example, the game&#8217;s &#8220;Simple&#8221; HUD offering will remove several elements, while still keeping some that will aid your combat and navigation. The &#8220;Minimal&#8221; HUD setting will pare the on-screen elements down further, displaying only essential information such as health and interaction prompts. Even these can be turned off too, should you wish.<\/p>\n<section data-transform=\"slideshow\" data-slug=\"assassins-creed-black-flag-resynced-screenshots\" data-value=\"assassins-creed-black-flag-resynced-screenshots\" data-type=\"slug\" data-caption=\"\"><\/section>\n<p>By default, you&#8217;ll see enemy health and defense bars \u2014 a choice Ubisoft has made to enable players to better understand Resynced&#8217;s new enemy defense mechanic. (This is where timed parries, sustained or strong attacks break an enemy&#8217;s defense, opening them up to a takedown.) But again, these elements can also be disabled.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ign.com\/articles\/ah-s-here-we-go-again-ubisoft-finally-acknowledges-assassins-creed-black-flag-remake-leak-responds-with-gta-meme\">After years of leaks<\/a>,  Assassin&#8217;s Creed Black Flag Resynced is now just a few months from launch.
