Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced director Richard Knight has hinted that a popular feature from Assassin’s Creed Mirage could be added to the game in a future update. The Animus Sequences of AC Mirage were a post-launch challenge mode that allowed players to replay certain investigations, contracts, and black box missions with a set of limitations applied to make the tasks more difficult. Knight says there is a possibility that Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced could see a similar mechanic implemented sometime down the line.
Assassin’s Cred Black Flag Resynced May Be Getting Mirage’s Animus Sequences
In an interview with YouTuber JorRaptor, Knight expressed his desire to bring Asassin’s Creed Mirage‘s Animus Sequences feature over to Black Flag Resynced. This feature would allow AC Black Flag Resynced players to replay missions with new challenges and gameplay twists, since the original mission replay option has been removed from the remake. According to Knight,
“We’ve looked into this one quite a bit. I can’t promise anything on it just because it exists in Mirage, but it doesn’t exist in the modern Anvil [Engine]. So, it’s like new tech, right? They do have a solution. We do roughly see how it works, but it’s going to take time to understand if it’s something we can build or how long it would take.”
