Technical Improvements
The remaster will include new enhancements that consist of higher-resolution textures, as well as support for 4K and HDR. Our vision was to take advantage of newer technology to bring this classic game up to match the quality of the current Assassin's Creed games.
With increased model improvements and physically based rendering (PBR), Assassin's Creed III Remastered displays more visually accurate images using real-world light and material properties that make the world feel more alive!
Gameplay Improvements
In addition to the technical upgrades, the remaster will also include new gameplay improvements, thanks to community feedback shared from the release of the original game.
The game UI (user interface) has undergone a big makeover to better align with today's standards (such as including color-blind settings to help spot enemies in the Mini Map) to deliver a more enjoyable player experience!
The in-game economy has been revamped to be easily visible and offer added benefits, such as additional weapons for crafting.
New stealth features are also included in the Remaster, as well as the ability to hide in bushes, call enemies over with a whistle, and perform double assassinations, creating a better balance between action and stealth.
And, of course, we can't forget the new Legacy Outfits that will pay homage to other notable Assassins, such as Alexios, Bayek and Aguilar!
