Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced bug is sinking ships in hilarious fashion
Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced, Ubisoft’s remake of the acclaimed original, has proven to be a solid revival that returns the stealth series to its pre-RPG roots. However, players are discovering that the game has inherited more than just gameplay mechanics from the 2013 original—it’s also resurrecting its infamous glitches.
A particularly hilarious bug has been circulating through the gaming community, causing the Jackdaw, Edward Kenway’s iconic pirate ship, to sink in spectacular fashion. According to reports documented by YouTuber G3-Assassin, the vessel suddenly plummets into what appears to be a water sinkhole of biblical proportions, with the entire ship slipping beneath the ocean waves. The glitch leaves Kenway and his crew underwater, with the protagonist still attempting to pilot the waterlogged vessel.
The bug appears to be a resurfacing of a similar issue from the original Black Flag, suggesting that some of the classic game’s quirks made their way into the remake. While such glitches might typically be cause for frustration, the community has embraced this particular bug with humor, finding entertainment value in the absurdity of watching a ship sink into the middle of the ocean.
Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced represents Ubisoft’s effort to re-engage players with one of the franchise’s most beloved entries. The remake maintains the compact, pre-RPG design philosophy while modernizing the experience. Despite the occasionally hilarious hiccup, the game appears to be resonating with players seeking a return to the series’ stealth-focused roots rather than the sprawling RPG format of recent entries.
