Ubisoft says the remake will keep the drunken Animus moment and adds six hours of new content, plus no-HUD and blood options.

- Ubisoft confirmed it has no plans to remove the original 2013 Black Flag or its next-gen remaster from storefronts, allowing players to purchase and play the classic version even after the remake launches.
