Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced creative director Paul Fu has confirmed that Ubisoft didn’t alter Edward Kenway’s story in the upcoming remake, but did expand on the character with additional content.

Speaking in an interview with TechRadar Gaming at a Black Flag Resynced preview event in Paris, Fu explained that the team didn’t feel required to change any of Kenway’s introduction to make him more fleshed out and that they wanted to stick as closely to the Black Flag writer Darby McDevitt’s original vision “as much as possible.”
