Ubisoft Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced Art Blast
Back in 2013, Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag’s Caribbean postcard visuals combined with the gritty reality of pirate life, captivated not only players but also our own art team. Remaking this masterpiece is a dream come true for both our veteran and new artists, giving us another opportunity to revisit Edward Kenway’s adventure and make it shine even brighter through today’s modern art tools and processes that unlocks our artistic ambitions than before.
Re-exploring the Caribbean is now even more immersive with more vibrant cities that feel more alive and crowded, highly detailed architecture, jungles with denser vegetation, more abundant wildlife in land, sea and skies, topped with realistic lighting, weather and ambiance. Characters are revitalized with more realistically detailed skin and hair shading, costumes with higher resolution textures and models, and added even more crowd variety than before.
We would also like to take this opportunity to thank the artists of the original Black Flag, and most especially the art director Raphael Lacoste, whose legacy and artwork has inspired this remake to push the visuals even further.
Through this art blast, we are proud to share our journey of recreating Edward Kenway’s adventure in showcasing the favorite works of our artists whose collective talent and passion made this possible.
