World
Familiar faces return — with more depth than ever. Here's who you'll meet, and what's new about them.
Protagonist — privateer turned Assassin
Voice: Matt Ryan (returning)
A Welsh privateer chasing fortune in the West Indies who is pulled into the centuries-old war between Assassins and Templars. The original voice actor, Matt Ryan, returns for new and reworked scenes.
Pirate legend & mentor figure
The most feared pirate of the age. Resynced expands Blackbeard's arc with new storylines that flesh out his rise and his bond with Edward.
The 'Gentleman Pirate'
A wealthy landowner who abandoned comfort for the pirate life. Resynced gives Bonnet expanded, fan-requested story content.
Edward's wife
The woman Edward leaves behind in Bristol. A brand-new scene between Edward and Caroline deepens his motivations and the story's emotional core.
Resynced isn't just a visual upgrade for its cast. With original writer Darby McDevitt returning and Matt Ryan back as Edward, the remake deepens the emotional core — most notably with a new scene between Edward and Caroline that reframes his motivations. The modern-day framing is reimagined as narrative "What if?" rifts rather than the original Abstergo office sections.
Edward Kenway, a Welsh privateer turned Assassin, voiced once again by the original actor Matt Ryan.
Yes — Edward 'Blackbeard' Thatch returns with an expanded story arc that gives the legendary pirate more depth than the 2013 original.
Beyond expanded Blackbeard and Stede Bonnet arcs, there's a brand-new scene between Edward and his wife Caroline, written by returning original scriptwriter Darby McDevitt.
