Revision 1

Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced takes place in the Caribbean during the early eighteenth century, a period often called the Golden Age of Piracy. The era is roughly centered on 1715, when colonial powers competed for control of the sea lanes and a loose confederation of pirates operating out of Nassau maintained an uneasy independence. Edward Kenway is a privateer operating in this world, navigating between the colonial ambitions of Spain and Britain and the chaotic freedom of the pirate republic.

The Caribbean Sea

The open ocean is as much a setting as the cities that dot its islands. The Jackdaw travels across a seamless open world with no loading screens, connecting the major ports and the many smaller islands scattered through the Caribbean. The Anvil engine's dynamic weather system means conditions on the water change in real time: calm mornings can give way to squalls, and storms reshape the horizon with wind and wave.

Confirmed Cities

Three major cities are confirmed for Resynced. These are the primary urban hubs for story missions, social activities, and navigation across the map.

Additional locations such as the Playas, smaller island outposts, and underwater sites are part of the world but had not been individually detailed ahead of the game's release. Specific sub-locations from the 2013 original are not confirmed to appear in the same form in Resynced.
