Ubisoft uploaded a short interview with devs alongside accessibility options for Black Flag Resynced (you can find it here) and it has some interesting features. The one that caught my eye is the "Assassinations are always successful" option. Of course the interview is very vague and I also don't recall any mention of this during the deep dives, but it definitely means that the base assassinations are changed in some way.
From the same list we know that there will be new crafting recipes (because remedies to heal during combat are introduced), so it may mean that the hidden blade now has stats and can be upgraded to kill different types of enemies. In my opinion the more likely option is that the assassinations now will have QTEs to secure kills. Or maybe it's just for the bosses like important story characters or ship captains. Either way, that is something different from the OG game. What do you guys think?
