A gameplay showcase for Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced, a remake of the original, drew immediate attention to the absence of blood during Edward Kenway's assassinations. Fans on Reddit and YouTube raised questions about the combat visuals, fearing features might be locked behind microtransactions. Justin Ng of Ubisoft Singapore responded on X on April 24, stating, “There WILL be blood in the final game, and it will not be a paid DLC. We hear the feedback on the VFX and audio cues on fight. It’s being toned down.” He added, “A few things to quickly address I guess (without getting into trouble hopefully).”
