According to Polygon, along with getting spoiled of the project, fans noticed that the game was rated PEGI 18 (not suitable for players under 18) due to violence, bad language, and in-game purchases. While the original Black Flag was released on PlayStation 3 and Xbox One and didn’t include in-game purchases, the most recent installmant in the franchise, Shadows, offers cosmetics for sale with in-game currency. Fans have been speuclating that Ubisoft will continue this trend in the remake.
Previous reports mentioned that the remake will be a substantial remake of the title, with visual and gameplay upgrades that see the game closer in quality to last year’s Shadows. Along with that, new story content is said to be added to flesh out more oof hero Edward Kenway’s life.
