Ubisoft didn't just port the game; they utilized a new engine pipeline to update the experience for current hardware:

: If you are playing on PC, the Remaster is more demanding than the original. Ensure your drivers are updated to handle the new physically-based rendering (PBR) system. Final Verdict

: While some "Day 1" versions had issues with facial animations, subsequent updates have refined the skin shaders and eye rendering to make characters look more natural under the new lighting system. Focus on AC: Liberation

The "Remastered" edition is more than just a resolution bump. It is a bundled experience designed to provide the full narrative arc of the Kenway era.

: Several "quality of life" changes were made based on fan feedback. This includes an improved UI, a revamped crafting system, and new stealth mechanics (like double assassinations and hiding in tall grass) that weren't in the original 2012 release.
