Here are some things to expect when playing as Edward in Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced:

  • Combat has been updated to focus on sneaky takedowns and new parrying mechanics, as well as quick-fire rope dart and pistol moves.
  • Edward can now crouch any time, affecting enemy visibility at medium to long range.
  • Tailing missions have been reworked. If you get spotted during a tailing mission, you’ll still be able to complete the mission. In the original game, you’d be desynchronized.
  • Observe mode lets Edward observe his environment and find his quest objectives, clues, and tag enemies.
  • Ziplines have been scattered throughout the city, allowing Edward to travel from high up to ground level in a snap.
