With the upcoming AC4 remake all but confirmed, I’ve been thinking about what cool features I’d love to see added. For starters, I’d like to see more depth in the story, especially around Edward’s relationships with characters like Adewale and Blackbeard. A background on how the Brotherhood made it to the Caribbean would be neat, possibly through a Codex or similar feature.
When it comes to gameplay, I’m hoping for more side content, like longer Templar hunts and new activities such as treasure hunts or smuggling runs. There should also be a greater variety of weapons and customization options—think broad swords or daggers that fit the time period. Unique harpooning options, such as capturing legendary sea creatures, would add excitement too!
In terms of exploration, I’d love to see each island fully explorable with unique items in stores, and maybe even additional regions to expand the map. I’d love your thoughts on this—what features do you hope to see?

I’d love to see them add a single-sword combat option! Currently, you can loot enemy swords, but being able to choose to fight with just one of your fancy blades would be amazing. It’d add more strategy to combat.
Yeah, it’s definitely a missed opportunity not having that option.
I honestly don’t see the need for a remake at all. Black Flag holds up well even today, and I feel they should focus on remaking the older games that need it more, like AC1 or Liberation.
I kinda agree. Black Flag is fantastic as is! I’d rather see a new game that builds on what Black Flag did so well.
Exactly! I think what we’re really after is more immersive pirate gameplay, like what we hoped Skull and Bones would deliver.
Honestly, I’m more for a graphical upgrade rather than a full remake. I don’t want Ubisoft to add so much stuff that it muddles what made Black Flag great. Just make it look and play better without losing that classic feel.
Exactly! Just a refresh would be great, especially since Black Flag is still enjoyable in its current form.
That’s fair! They should focus on enhancing the graphics while maintaining the core story and experience. A total overhaul might lose its charm.
I think we should be able to call our crew for backup like in Syndicate. It seems odd we can’t do that in a pirate game!
I’d love to be able to unlock cheats and still save the game after using them. That would totally change the way you can play!
I just want more black flags, honestly! Can we have a few more of those?
Please bring back the crouch button! I swear I heard they had it at one point but removed it. Plus, can we drop the optional objectives? Who actually likes those?
It’d be nice to have more control options again, that’s for sure!
Yeah, optional objectives can be annoying! I think since Unity, they’ve stuck around, but no idea why they haven’t included the crouch feature back.
For me, I think crafting bombs like in Revelations would really spice things up. Different types of bombs could add some great new gameplay options!
Totally with you! They should keep both single and double sword options, but maybe give each style unique advantages and disadvantages for more tactical gameplay.
