Ubisoft's MASSIVE Missed Opportunity at an Assassin's Creed Black Flag SEQUEL
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 21 พ.ค. 2023
- Assassin's Creed Black Flag was released in 2013 to great acclaim. Many loved the pirate setting and naval combat, so much so that Ubisoft knew they had to capitalize and make another pirate-themed game. One would think the obvious choice was to make a sequel to an Assassin's Creed Black Flag but instead what we're getting is Skull and Bones...

A sequel to Black Flag with Edward and a crossover with Arno and Shay are the 2 biggest missed opportunities in the franchise for me.
Add Connor to the mix (Shay and Arno are all alive during that time) and what a game that'll be.
@@johnnypr-nyc8851 Conner wouldn’t be alive…
@@cambread2631 Yes, he would. Hell, even Aveline as well. They'll all be alive during the same time period.
What about Altaïr?
Edward is maybe 20-25 in 1715. You expect him to be playable in 1791 during the Revolution?
I think the lack of sequels is due to Ubisoft’s corporate big suits always chasing the next big thing, and not building on what they already have. This is because chasing trends is more easily profitable than revisiting old projects.
Sequels in the form of trans media (comics, novels, etc) are mainly overseen by Ubisoft’s development teams, who have more passion for the series than the corporate suits who run the company.
That and it’s their ideas that they can take a small dlc concept and blow it up to be a whole different game to make them more money. They’re thinking in terms of quick money, not long money. They wanna pump out new settings/characters and not give it any thought about lingering on a protagonist too long. It’s dumb cause Bayek, Edward, Alexos, maybe Arno and even Adawele could’ve had multiple games. But with that said…
I think they came up with the whole idea of new assassins no matter what instead of sequels because of Adewale. I can’t remember when we got a completely new assassin in a DLC that was interesting enough to get a sequel and instead of making him have his own full game, he got tacked onto a dlc. They probably said “never again” to a secondary assassin being a dlc and just decided to have them in a different game to not miss out on a big pay day. Even the idea of Basim was a DLC but I bet once it was taken to ubi leadership, they remembered missing out on “adewale new game money” and forced the dev team to just make a new game around Basim.
With other words, just American.
That'd certainly explain how the webtoon that acts as a sequel to AC4 got off the ground. Someone with actual passion decided Edward still had more stories to tell
AC 3 and AC 4 are definitely two games that absolutely need sequels. Seeing Connor rebuild the colonial brotherhood would be so satisfying and nice too see. He lived to an old age so he definitely has a lot of untold story to his life. And as was said in the video, Edward's full transformation to greedy pirate to assassin and family man to his death.
AC 3 got two prequels and then the story ended in 3 they can't really do a sequel
AC3 had some serious missed opportunities and missed calculations (such as the 3 hour long tutorial). While I look back on that game fondly, I remember being extremely disappointed at how little the revolution era and events were actually explored (or not explored at all). Hell, two of the battles that were actually in promotional material, ended up being little more than mediocre quicktime events. Key battles such as Setauket, Saratoga, Yorktown, Trenton were completely missing.
But I can't hate on the game because AC3 lead to AC4 which, in my opinion, was the franchise at it's peak. Unity was fun but it was plagued by bugs, microtransactions, a god awful companion app, and multiplayer only events; so...if you were a solo player, you completely missed out on that content. Not only that but it was the start of the severely dumbed down parkour system. Granted, most of the bugs were later fixed and the multiplayer only elements were opened up to everyone. Its a much better game today than it was at release but still.
Agreed. I have my gripes with AC3, but honestly I feel like there was still so much potential in continuing Connor's story, and the fact we never did with the possible exception of _Tyranny of Washington_ is IMO one of the biggest missed opportunities of all time
As for AC 4, I personally think the game ended pretty well on it's own but I sequel still wouldn't have been a bad thing. Heck, there's a webtoon that's officially licensed by Ubisoft that continues Edward's story and has him adventuring in Macau and has him fighting templar ninjas! Yes, it sounds over the top when I write it out, but imagine a game where you're playing Edward fighting Templar ninja in a 18th century Chinese trade city! It'd be awesome!
AC 3, AC 4 Black Flag, and AC Rogue are my top 3 Assassin’s Creed games of all time. I’m just a huge fan of Naval Warfare.
these games are my favourites too, it's just so sad to see that AC Rouge is not getting the attention for the great game it is, prolly same for AC3
dang we share common ground
Yes and they ruined AC franchise from Unity which had a lot of potential. The only things I like are Graphic, Parkour, Character customisation and CO-OPS. Syndicate fixed the bugs from unity but still is downgrade.
You are a good man
My main problem with AC 3 is the rather unattractive optics and setting. Not very colorful nor something like interesting to explore. It fits perfectly in the period of the independence war, but it’s just boring af :D
a black flag sequel would be a DREAM
At this point with Ubisoft when it comes to this, missing an opportunity is an opportunity Ubisoft can’t miss
One thing I think Syndicate could have done is an Edward DLC, how he established a British Brotherhood and maybe show him bonding with a very young Haytham
British Brotherhood predated him, but he did become a co-mentor. But totally agreed otherwise
BLACK FLAG SPOILERS
I feel in a Black Flag sequel we could have seen Edward settling down in London with the Kenway manor being the settlement we can upgrade and decorate, searching for a Piece of Eden while expanding the Brotherhood in London, training new assassins, studying the observatories, confronting Woodes Rogers and Edward's late wife Caroline's fiancé while meeting Duncan Walpole's cousin (I believe), and maybe working with assassin Miko and seeing Adewale again.
Thank you. Honestly we could of had a full kenway trilogy. The back flag novel had a lot of info we didn't get as well as the novel forsaken. We could of got those as games and it would of been great.
The canon ending of Edward kind of spoils any chance for a sequel. Her daughter gets captured, his son gets fooled and then adopted by the templars. Edward was murdered so he couldnt help his children. I think this removes any chance for a good sequel with this looming over his head
@@yiklongtay6029 But most fans don’t know that happens, besides it would be more fun to play than read it.
@@yiklongtay6029 It would be nice though to see how Edward acts as an assassin and see what he all does before his death.
Connor: “How did my Grandfather die?”
Haytham: “Is it important to you?”
Connor: “Just wondering.”
Edward souls: Mate I died when I was 42 at my prime got stabbed at my back coz haytham disturbed
@@Thrilltime69 maybe we will know properly through the webtoon series about his death this time
in my opinion black flag didnt need a sequel since edward didnt live that long and the epilogue was a good ending. AC III and ac unity deserves a sequel. Both characters live their lives till 70. so defenitely a sequel possible for them. same for bayek or even shay
It could still have some type of sequel. I mean they're making a Manga which is a sequel to Black Flag. Could've been a game.
The story of edward after black flag was only released after the game, so, if they wanted, they could've made a sequel instead. However, it wouldn't make a ton of sense to bring edward back to the seas considering his choice at the end of the game. A sequel I could see however would be a sequel to black flag but with someone else. The only drawback being that black flag already told the story of the sunset of the golden age of pirates, so it would be kinda hard to pull off considering all the important figures of the time were already dead or retired
Edward in the 13 years as an assassin travelling the world for pieces of Eden are more interesting than bland connor and selfish simp arno.
@@astralchaos3441 the manga was a stupid decision, should have been a game
We could’ve gotten a sequel of Connor in the War of 1812. It could take place in the more southern states, and heavily feature naval gameplay.
Edwards spent his post-Black Flag days investigating Precursor sites to locate the Grand Temple, he wrote the journal that Birch and Haytham have in III. There’s the story, and offers exploration of Mayan ruins proper as well as Precursor locations. Throw in a chase for a macguffin of Eden where Edward has to draw on his pirate skills and that gives the villain. It could be Assassin’s Creed meets Uncharted.
As greedy and full of themselves as Ubisoft are, one thing I do commend them for doing was greenlighting something like AC Unity. Yes, Unity turned out to be a disaster, but seeing the success of Black Flag they could've just done a Brotherhood and made AC a pirate/ship sailing franchise, but they opted to return to the roots of the franchise (unsuccessfully)
I wouldn't see anything wrong with Ubisoft doing a separate pirate franchise. The could alternate development of games like they did when releasing Watch Dogs 1/2.
the sad part is they never built upon the parkour, stealth, and combat system from unity instead made it barebones and very basic like rpg creed games, we might never get a unity sequel.
imagine the ac4 black flag sequel has the open combat and naval combat of black flag, the parkour of unity, and the stealth of unity/syndicate...that would be amazing
BF the first AC game I played in my late 50's because it was pirates & age of sails. I have replayed 3x.
I'm with you on this! I'm in my 60s, and I just started playing AC rogue / black flag, last week due to the age of "fighting sail"....I love it!
We know that Edward was the first assassin to discover the shroud and that he traveled throughout Africa & Asia as a British assassin searching for artifacts. There is a comic run currently expanding on some of Edwards timeline so there is definitely plenty of stuff they could work with if they wanted to. They don’t want to pay returning actors sadly
Hopefully, they turn Assassins creed forgotten temple into a game. It’s a good story that talks about Edward’s adventures after black flag
Hello, I really enjoy the AC content and the creative ideas that you share. I especially enjoy the no damage ones and I am excited of AC 3
Conor, Edward and Bayek deserved sequels where they were established master assassins like Ezio was in brotherhood. I think how the system in odyssey where you had seamless movement from naval to land traversal without any loading screens would have been a good system to implement an Edward sequel where he was a full fledged assassin. Or even a trilogy ending with his life in London instead of the Frye twins.
The whole settlement system they had with Eivor should have been a sequel for Bayek building the first Assassin network and they would have even given us the syndicate dynamic where we can switch through the Assassins in Egypt playing as Bayek and in Rome playing Aya and we get to see her as Amunet.
I don’t know how they didn’t think of any of these. The ideas and sequels practically write themselves. Who wouldn’t buy a Connor, Edward or Bayek sequel. Would be so cool to see how they grow into mature full fledged assassins.
This might be a bad idea, but I would really like to see alexios/kassandra travers the world to find and destroy all those isu artifacts. It’s just that the ending of ac odyssey gave them so much opportunity to continue their story, maybe even see them pop up in a different game like in valhalla
Them meeting Assassins and Hidden Ones we’ve met and played as since many stories revolve around or have a Piece of Eden as a crucial element of the plot. Seeing the formation of the Hidden Ones by Bayek and Aya, the shift in how the ideology is perceived by the group at Masyaf under Al Mualim, Altaïr and Abbas, the rise of the Order of the Ancients and their evolution into the Knights Templars then Abstergo. Being functionally immortal would be mentally tiring after centuries of conflict and war, using the passage of time to chart how this impacts the Eagle Bearer is another angle. If Kassandra ever met Basim it’d be quite ironic given the means of her longevity is the same force that will manipulate his means of revival centuries later.
ew
Kassandra did show up in Valhalla in one of the DLC's.
We need sequels for main Assassin characters again. As much as I love Ezio, he holds an unfair advantage over all the characters that came after him by having 3 main games under his belt. The only one that arguably comes close to Ezio's status is Altair and I even find that to be a huge stretch because his spin-off games are largely forgotten about while he shared the limelight with Ezio in AC Revelations.
The ship and the pirating, the deep dives were very fun features.
Assassin's creed black flag, the ezio collection, and Assassin's creed untiy are my all 3 times favorite Assassin's creed games
there is a webtoon comic about Edward right now. So far it's about his assassin's job after blackflag in the south east asia. But I wish it was a game when the news came out
You release your Videos so fast! Last video was 1 day ago and now the next one. That is amazing! You are literally the best youtuber.
In terms of storytelling (both modern and past) , the ezio trilogy was the best.
In combat, the kenway saga is the best (ac3, black flag, rouge)
In terms of parkour, the initiatives saga is the best (unity, syndicate)
In terms of map design and visual, the layla arc is the best (origns, garbage odyssey, valhalla)
Now, if ubisoft can find comon ground in all four, they could create the best game they release.
I’d say initiates should be best stealth
I resent that. Odyssey is the best of the RPG trio.
DID ANYONE SEE THAT 2 SEC LONG MIRAGE LECK OF BASIM RUNNING THROUGH THE STREET 😅
There was a sequel to AC:BF and it was not Rogue. It takes place after AC:BF, when Edward sails back to England. This wasn't a DLC, but a separate game called "Freedom Cry". You play as his former Quartermaster. One of the first missions has you diving down to the Jackdaw, which has sunk.
According to Google search: The game that follows the first mate from Assassin's Creed Black Flag is Freedom Cry. Freedom Cry is set over a decade after the main campaign of Black Flag and follows Adéwalé, Edward's former quartermaster who became an Assassin. Black Flag received critical acclaim and was one of the best-selling games of 2013, with over 15 million copies sold as of 2020.
Love your video and keep up the great work and black flags is my favorite game
Love these and all the AC long play vids!
There's actually a sequel to Black Flag, but it's a Webtoon exclusive series that takes years after Black Flag following Edward as an Assassin going to East Asia to locate First Civilization ruins, and it has elements from Syndicate from i heard. It's still going on
Edit: the title is Forgotten Temple if you're interested
*We want a game sequel, not a novel lol.*
@@Dadee3 tell that to Ubisoft, who wouldn't bother to give anyone the Ezio treatment
Skull and Bones was supposed to be a spiritual successor.
It's both sad and hilarious that it's been 10 years and they still haven't fully capitalized on Black Flag's mechanics.
Thank you for reminding me, that, besides the naval combat and the beautiful Caribbean flair, Black Flag thrived through its characters and story. I was heartbroken when Thatch died, even though I knew he would, as AC usually kills off Characters that did die in real live.
The Characters were colourful. Edward Kenway was really likeable, someone who could screw you over and still seem charming doing so. It was just an all round great game.
As Ubisoft I would honestly change the lore around Edward and have him survive the templar attack. This way we could have a trilogy of him. I think Edward is (next to Ezio and maybe Altair) the most beloved assassin. Black Flag 2 (and potentially 3) could include his path to being a master assassin...
Hey, I really enjoy your channel. Keep up the great work! I think the reason why a sequel to Black Flag wouldn't work is because a large part of its appeal is about the pirate fantasy. This is why Rogue's gameplay didn't hit the same way Black Flag did despite being the same. It's also why Edward doesn't become an assassin until the very end.
Also, the release schedule for AC was annual which means by the time Ubisoft realised how popular Black Flag was it was too late because Unity was already in development and would be coming out the following year. The annual release schedule didn't really allow Ubisoft to implement any of the lessons learned and I think that's partly why they've slowed down on new releases in favour of live service-like DLCs while we wait for the next instalment.
You should do a Templar and Assassin ranking based on how dramatic they are
Ubisoft made it clear that they do not want to provide us with closure on any assassin past Ezio, so it is getting harder and harder to get invested in the characters now.
Edward’s sequel either in London (for the classic AC vibes) or perhaps a new city like Lisbon before the earthquake in Rogue or in somewhere like South East Asia or Indonesia maybe, exploring a new part of the world is a true missed opportunity
However for me the biggest opportunity for me has always been the crossover finale to the 18th century with Arno and Connor (maybe even with Aveline) teaming up against Shay. They did all the set up for the AC equivalent of the Avengers in the MCU and just didn’t assemble these characters because reasons I cannot fathom
Skull and Bone's primary issue was the constant change in creative direction. The original E3 reveal was what purchased the hype from the fan base initially. The game's creative direction was abandoned and changed multiple times after that in favor of a free to play model.
All they had to do was add the multiplayer element to the naval portions of AC4. Then after they ironed out the kinks, they could have branched out into a new franchise.
hi i was wondering if you could add the characters from the ac chronicles games to your whos the best? worst assassins at a topic. or else make a video on your opinion about those games i love your channel btw your my fav youtuber
Im pretty sure there is a webtoon on assassin creed black flag that just came out recently and is like conitinuing the story after black flag edward right now is like fighting against Japanese pirates and is like looking for the lost temples
ubisoft all ways misses opportunitys
Yeah, a sequel to Black Flag would have been nice to see done and I think it could still work too.
As you can show Edwards rise to being co-leader of the Brotherhood in London.
Can show the decline or fall of it seems to be cyclical as we know from Valhalla the Brotherhood has lost Lunden before.
We saw that with Syndicate of the Fryes having to rebuild it up again.
This could also show us how Haythem went on to become a Templar tie to Shay McCormack and Rogue more as well as to Unity too.
theres so much time between Edward coming home, becoming British Mentor-like figure and then getting older. Ubisoft can play around that but Edward as a privateer in the North Sea
I love the idea of a sequel but we all know that ain’t happening
The most obvious sequel for Black Flag was to focus on young Haytham and his path into the Templar Order.
The funny thing is, there is a black flag sequel, its called AC Lost Temple. Its also a web toon.
Black flag sequel would be fire but you know what would be more fire the thing that's more fire is a fire truck
2 fire trucks
3 fire trucks
This game is soooo nostalgic for me, it's almost sad.
@MasterAssassin I watch your videos only hoping they actually take on your ideas on board in the future keep it the good content 👍
You should do which assassin's the most ruthless
Edit the should do unity 2 where Connor and arno meet up and kill shay
Freedom Cry was a sorta sequel starring Adewale set during the Haitian revolution
The whole AC series is one big "missed opportunity". They could have made a sequel with Arno and Connor during Napoleonic Wars. They could have made Black Flag sequel in England instead of Syndicate. They could have given Bayek & Aya a whole trilogy instead of leaving Origins with a pointless sequel-baiting open ending. Making AC a disjointed anthology was a massive mistake.
Missed opptuinitys and would of loved to see more games from our fav characters and feel really sad about it and really missed and sucks so much like more and more like ubisoft missed out
There's a new webtoon/comic that explains how Edward found another isu temple (the webtoon is called Assassins Creed : Forgotten Temple)
Nice video idea. Jedi Fallen Order but if I die the video ends. Great vid btw.
I think that AC infinity will be a massive opportunity to create new stories like ac red as well as expand on already existing ones
Tbh they wrote such an inglorious end for Edward I doubt they care enough to ever pick up on that story. But the codex he wrote, which Evie Frye finds in the Kenway mansion in Syndicate, that's where Edward apparently recorded all the Isu temples and artefacts and secrets he discovered for the Brotherhood. He went from pirate to archaeologist and Master Assassin and that's great material for a sequel.
Ubisoft actually has made of Black Flag sequel but they didn't make it as a game they made it as a comic in webtoons Ubisoft start working with webtoons to make the sequel
And a sequel of the absolutely iconic music soundtrack. More of that would be awesome too.
Black Flag in general has been crazy neglected. A remaster or sequel would sell crazy.
Ubi could pull a Zelda, and the sequel to Black Flag could create a new timeline - one where Edward Kenway lives, so then he can have more games. This would also further change the timeline further into the future, and this timeline can have it's own games. Also, this could be just one of the many possibilities that Desmond and Layla are exploring in the Grey. The Grey is like an animus but it can look into possibilities in the past, present and future instead of just the past memories. That's what Assassin's Creed Infinity might involve.
Or maybe, edward faked his death to hunt down the templars into the shadows. Going back to a life of roaming the seas. Maybe not in the carribeans, or at least not the same area as we've never gotten two games taking place at the same place in a relatively close time period (except ac 3 and rogue, just with rogue having less than a year of development time, it's no wonder they had to reuse a lot of assets). I'm not too sure, but I believe that some pirates left for the african coasts when the repression became too harsh, so it might take place there. The game would see edward fully revert to being a pirate, but for the good cause this time, as he would need to become the scourge of the seas to permanently put an end to the templars' traffick., even wearing the outfit that he is said to wear in his ginal days in black flag. After years, his fame would be such that it would grab the attention of a rising templar master, haytham kenway. During one final stand, haytham would confront his father, leaving him mortally wounded and stranded on an island. Adewale who would've gotten word of the upcoming attack on edward would try to save his old friend, watching him die in front of him, refusing to give the name of his killer, not wanting to see his best friend and son face each other
I agree with you 100%
I would buy up Edward Kenway games like candy. Thanks for the great review as usual.
Black Flag 2 NEEDS to happen
I mean plot wise they would already have on since they are now releasing a comic called assassin's Creed forgotten temple that is basically the adventures of Edward kenway in the east
I finshed this game recently and I loved it and it should have gotten a sequel
6:11 bro I just want co-op like in Unity 😭
You should do which assassin is the most unequipped
Mirage gameplay trailer is out I think it looks great personally
To use a sports metaphor,Ubisoft dropped the ball with Black Flag.Imagine Black Flag on PS5 and dual sense controls and more legendary ship battles
Isn't that what skull and bones is going to be?
I saw a video Ubisoft( or WEBTOON) released a continuity of Edward Kenway as a comic series. Idk about y'all but I'm excited to read it.
Ancient rome I think is by far the biggest missed opportunity
Hell, Kassandra could have a multi-era game. Taking place in every significant part of history for 2400 years
Black Flag remastered on PS5 would be an instant buy for me
Hey master assassin big fan
Do u think u can make a video on which time preoods ac should NOT go to
I'm 100% for a black flag sequel
Altair and Connor should have a Sequel there is so much blank slate between Altair timeline and Ezio. So many story to be made where Altair went after being banished from Acre. Syndicate and Unity will have a great story if only they have been a connection from AC3, like after Connor was finished in America it would have been great if he traveled to Europe and continue to pursue the remaining Templars so therefore the reason that another branch of the Brotherhood was existing there. That would ultimately connects the Story of the twins and Arno just like how Ezio story connects to Atair story. That's what makes Ezio story great because it connects to the story of Altair. And if ever there would be a sequel to Black Flag the protagonist will not be Edward since he died in the ending and Haytham was taken by the Templars the famous ship battle mechanics would be out of the picture in the sequel. Connor's story should been told after BlackFlag how he went to europe and build another Brotherhood there so the Twins and Arno would have a mentor thing like how Ezio sees altair as a mentor just by knowing that he was a Grand Assassin even though Ezio and Altair never met physically.
This would be a dream come true!!
The funny thing is that Ubisoft didn't even need to do an Assassin's Creed Black Flag sequel and just used the mechanics for Black Flag for maybe a spin off game or created a new IP (Not Skull and Bones) where we're just a pirate.
As for an Edward Sequel? Perhaps, though I do believe that his story had a good ending despite him having a lot left to be told before his death. But I'd have loved more AC games with Black Flag's mechanics, maybe more along the lines of Rogue where we just play as an Assassin that is tasked with travelling the globe. But still, it would have been nice to potentially see Haythem again.
I feel like Arno needs it the most out of anyone
Wouldn’t mind annual games like the ezio series if they expanded on the character stories, not just a plain open world where it’s a chore to move about. If they keep the games shorter and develop story way more, story will always trump “discovery” in a grey sandbox, ahem Valhalla, cough. That being said, my favourite acs were probably 2, revelations and unity. Chuck in origins in there as well for the setting
I don't understand why Ubisoft never pushed Abstergo Multiplayer hide and seek game. That was a lot of fun all the time.
my fav youtuber uploaded about my fav game and my biggest red flag in ubisoft is no bf 2
Black Flag should have spawned into a new series of open world pirate games. Single player pirate games. Maybe a few hints to assassin's creed but just games about pirates in open worlds with naval combat. They could had like 3 successful games by now based on what black flag on its own started.
For the LONGEST time I though the game ended when he was 4o and the jump cut to edward having a beard was like a few month later due to Adewale mentioning edward being in his 30s and I always said 2 years want enough but he was 29?! WTF?! BLONDIE BEST GET A SEQUEL
Make a video about the drippiest assassin. Rank every the assassin’s outfits
I would like to have a prequel to AC Unity, where we play as Thomas de Carneillon.
Well at least we have a webtoon following Edward.
AC fans to their gf after getting married and have a ring: I dont want to wear this because it would mean im a templar.
Weird you didnt mention the Sequal that does exist, the ac webtoon
Waiting until you upload a video about the gameplay trailer for Mirage haha
lmao same
The origins of james kid as an assasin could have been interesting
I could say the same for arno. they both got a potential sequel materials.
Not even a single mention of Freedom Cry?
I mean you can consider that being a sequel as Liberation had a sequel in Black Flag.
Edward prequel sounds like a terrible idea. The biggest complaint about blsck flag was the lack of assassin stuff. The biggest complaint about odyssey and valhalla is the lack of assassin stuff. The biggest complaint about ac3 intro was the lack of assassin stuff. This edward prequel would have literally NO assassin stuff
If they remade black flag or made a sequel in the same setting with the better graphical fidelity and with the combat of Unity. CHEF’S KISS!!!
Videos like this are very heartbreaking. Realizing what assassins creed could have been but wasn't is sad.
A sequel would definitely have happened due to how popular BF was, but for one reason: Skull and Bones - at least in my opinion.
AC:BF is more or less a guaranteed seller for them, with people wanting a sequel in the same setting. That would have taken the shine off of Skull and Bones, and they didn’t want that. I bet they wish they’d gone down the sequel route now, considering the development hell SaB is in. That’s what I think.
Edit:
I hadn’t watched when I commented. You pretty much say the same here.
or maybe just side missions on future games that has abundant Easter eggs just like how rockstar do with their games
It's only a matter of time before Ubisoft starts to appeal to previous protagonists nostalgia. All companies utilize nostalgia sooner or later, like Capcom returning to the old Resident Evil remakes/era or Disney bringing Star Wars back to the original trilogy era for the a big chunk of their content (Andor/Fallen order and so on).
Actually they made a sequel for black flag but on a webtoon series called black flag the forgotten temple it takes after black flag theres only 4h. nostalgia by reading it
So yeah give this a try if ur a new or old black flag fan.
