Ubisoft has teamed up with folk band The Longest Johns to create a sea shanty built entirely from player reviews and community comments about the original Assassin’s Creed Black Flag, timed to celebrate the upcoming launch of Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced.
The band took real words from fans of the original game and turned them into song lyrics, set to a medley of iconic shanties from the Black Flag soundtrack. The result is a musical tribute to the community’s long-standing love for the game. The sea shanty is linked below if you would like to give it a try.
Alongside the official shanty, The Longest Johns have also kicked off one of their Community Projects, inviting fans to submit their own vocal recordings of Randy Dandy Oh. The band will edit the submissions together into a full community performance, continuing their tradition of involving their audience directly in creative projects. More details on how to participate are available on The Longest Johns’ official website.
Previously, Ubisoft also announced the console specs for Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced, detailing how players can expect the game to perform when it launches. On the PS5, the game will deliver 2160p upscaled resolution in Fidelity, Performance, and Balanced modes. The difference comes in frames. Fidelity will deliver 30 FPS, Balanced will deliver 40 FPS, while Performance will aim for 60 FPS. The Fidelity and Balanced modes will also have Extended Ray Tracing usage, while Performance will only have Standard usage. These are the same for the PS5 Pro, with the only difference being Enhanced PSSR and Extended Ray Tracing in all three modes.
On the Xbox front, Xbox Series S will deliver 1620p Upscaled in Fidelity mode with 30 FPS and standard Ray Tracing. The Xbox Series X will have three modes similar to PlayStation and will feature 2160p Upscaled resolution in all three visual modes. Performance will deliver 60 FPS with Standard Ray Tracing, while Fidelity will have 30 FPS, and Balanced will have 40 FPS, with both of them offering Extended Ray Tracing. Extended Ray Tracing includes global illumination for diffuse lighting and reflective surfaces.
