One stock crash and Ubisoft's character design suddenly looks like this
Text content
ASSASSIN'S CREED
BLACK FLAG
RESYNCED
Overview
This is a satirical meme mocking Ubisoft's character design choices following reported financial struggles. The image shows an edited promotional graphic for a fake remaster of Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag labeled 'Resynced', featuring a redesigned version of the character Anne Bonny with plainer, less conventionally glamorous features, a small flower crown in her hair, and holding a dagger against a pirate-themed coastal background with an Assassin's Creed pirate flag visible in the distance. The joke implies that Ubisoft intentionally downgraded the visual appeal of their female character designs as a cost-cutting or controversy-avoiding move after suffering a stock market crash.
Origin notes
This meme was first shared on 9Gag, created in response to widespread fan criticism of Ubisoft's recent character design decisions for new releases and remakes, alongside widely reported financial difficulties and stock value drops for the company. It edits original promotional artwork from Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag to create the fake 'Resynced' remaster premise as part of the joke.
