《刺客教條：黑旗 同步重置》公布後，Steam社區一些玩家對該作的三個地方進行了吐槽。
首先，育碧似乎偷偷將原作中的一些妓女角色換成了更胖更丑的角色，引發了玩家的不滿。考慮到該作的背景是18世紀的加勒比海以及當時的經濟條件和審美，肥胖的妓女顯得太突兀：
隨後有玩家翻舊賬，指出背景設定在日本封建時代的《刺客教條：暗影》，儘管當時面臨吃不飽飯的問題，但育碧還是義無反顧地加入了肥胖女性角色NPC：
Japanese have pointed out the food shortages in ancient Japan, but Ubisoft still included an obese female character in AC shadow. "Killing the male gaze" is their first company mission.
玩家：一點不驚訝，屬於育碧的「正常操作」
Why is anyone surprised? Of course they'd do this. The original is perfect, we don't need a tainted bastardization of the original for a remake. If you support this, you support everything that is wrong with the AAA industry. Ubislop can crash and burn for all I care. Time for them to pass the torch to new dev studios that actually care about the art of gaming and prioritize fun gameplay.
I preordered anyway but this is a stupid move. Make Assassin's Creed hoes great again!!
