Explore how Assassin's Creed Black Flag revolutionized the series with its open-world adventure, fueled by fan feedback.
What your favorite Assassin's Creed says about you
When Assassin's Creed Black Flag was released in 2013, it was more than just another installment in the popular franchise. It was a turning point for Ubisoft. The game introduced various new features and mechanics to the series. The standout feature was the addition of open world adventures for the first time in the series.
However, what made this one-of-a-kind feature even more amazing was that it was powered by fan feedback. Instead of ignoring this feedback, Ubisoft embraced the idea and showcased a rare case where the company actually listened to player feedback and delivered on the premise. Yet, now in 2024, players are questioning where this innovative and creative company has gone.
Fans of the Assassin's Creed franchise have always been vocal about their desires. So before Black Flag was released they asked for an open world pirate adventure. They wanted a game that offered more than just exploration and historical intrigue, yearning for the freedom to navigate the seas and engage in naval combat.
