Cut Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced epilogue scene, that could hint at fresh 18th century stabby hijinks, allegedly taken down by Ubisoft following datamine
A YouTube video showcasing an unused epilogue cutscene from Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced has been copyright struck by Ubisoft. The unreleased scene was discovered through datamining by modder Sliderv2 and reportedly features dialogue between Edward Kenway, the protagonist of the original Black Flag, and a character who becomes significant in Assassin’s Creed 3.
The discovery intrigues fans due to its narrative implications. The scene depicts a conversation that could hint at expanded storytelling opportunities in the Assassin’s Creed franchise, particularly around filling narrative gaps in the 18th century setting that spans multiple games in the series.
Ubisoft’s copyright strike raises questions about how the publisher manages leaked or cut content from its games. The takedown suggests the company aimed to control the narrative around unused content in the remastered version, though the reasons for cutting the scene or suppressing its disclosure remain unclear.
This incident highlights the ongoing tension between game preservation efforts and intellectual property protection. Modders and dataminers frequently uncover content that developers chose to exclude from final releases, and the discovery fuels speculation among fans about potential future Assassin’s Creed projects set in the 18th century.
