While Ubisoft still hasn’t shared exact technical details, players can reportedly expect:

• Improved visual fidelity
• Better image quality

And honestly?

Considering how gorgeous Black Flag Resynced already looks from trailers alone, the PS5 Pro version could end up looking ridiculous.

Players Will Receive Around Six Additional Hours of Content

• New quests

• Expanded side activities
• Additional exploration opportunities

At the same time, Knight explained that overall playtime will vary significantly depending on player style.

Some players may finish the main experience in roughly 15 hours, while completionists could easily spend over 40 hours exploring everything the game offers.

The Entire World Is Now Seamless

According to Knight, players can now travel much more naturally throughout the Caribbean without many of the transitions and interruptions found in the original game.

Combined with the enhanced pirate mechanics and naval systems, Ubisoft clearly wants exploration to feel much more immersive this time around.

More Sea Shanties and a New “Shanty Player” Feature

And honestly, that alone probably already sold the remake to half the fanbase.
