Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced Keeps Iconic Drunk Load Screen

In the long tradition of beloved works being carried forward into new forms, a small but telling moment arose around Ubisoft's remake of Assassin's Creed Black Flag: fans noticed that a drunken pirate was standing suspiciously still. The detail in question — Edward Kenway stumbling through a loading screen after too much rum — was never essential to the game's mechanics, yet it had become essential to its soul. Within a day, Ubisoft confirmed the feature's return, a reminder that when people love something deeply, they love all of it, including the margins.
