The Biggest Historical Series in Video Games Is Officially Back to Its Roots

Remakes for video games are becoming increasingly common, from masterful reimaginings such as the recent Final Fantasy VII Remake trilogy to simple ports like Mario Kart 8 Deluxe to 1-to-1 remastered remakes including Metroid Prime. 2026 in particular has been home to some incredible remakes such as Halo: Campaign Evolved and the recently announced Ocarina of Timeremake. They are a good way to improve upon an old game and play into the nostalgia factor by making it better, but a good remake also gives gamers who haven't played it the opportunity to experience it with updated controls and modern design. It's exactly what Assassin's Creed is doing, because just today, the franchise released Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced, a full remake of the beloved 2013 game.
