French gaming publication Jeux Vidéo Magazine reported some of the ways this upcoming remake will update the game in a new video translated by Video Game Chronicle. Reportedly, the new version of Black Flag will remove the game's modern-day sections and replace them with more pirate-era missions, which Jeux Vidéo Magazine claims will amount to four hours' worth of new content. This content will include the introduction of legendary female pirate Mary Read, who was axed in the final stage of the original game's development.
