We already know it's adding in the RPG mechanics. Modern Day is being removed in its entirety to solely focus on Edward's story and they're redoing the map so that the towns can be seamless and the islands more unique like in Rogue but that's all we've learned.

Since it's gonna be modern combat instead of the OG I imagine we'll get the option to use the pistol as a quick-fire like in Syndicate and an aimed fire item, we'll get the two saber swords, we'll get some single cutlass, and then I have no idea what other weapons they can give us. Hidden Blade as an actual weapon?

Until they say it I'm still expecting them to sunk cost it into existence. Sure, they've remade it something like three or four times but I don't see Ubisoft dropping it personally.

Tom Henderson is a known insider and he's saying it's still on despite Shadows. Black Flag Remake is likely first because we have actual gameplay details like it using the RPG system from the newer games, better island design, being able to seamlessly visit every area, and no Modern Day segments.

The Black Flag Remake is also going to have RPG mechanics added into it.
