Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced New Game Plus Confirmed as Ubisoft Marks 3 Million Copies Sold
Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced has crossed 3 million copies sold, marking a significant commercial success for Ubisoft’s remake since its July 9 launch across PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S. The game achieved 2 million copies sold within its first 24 hours, significantly outpacing the launch performance of Assassin’s Creed Shadows, which recorded 1 million “players” on its opening day—demonstrating strong consumer interest in the revitalized version of the classic pirate-themed entry in the franchise.
The strong sales performance has prompted Ubisoft to commit to additional post-launch content for the game, with New Game Plus mode confirmed to be in development. This announcement represents the publisher’s broader commitment to supporting the remake with ongoing updates beyond its initial launch period.
Despite the commercial success, Ubisoft announced layoffs affecting members of the development team just days after the game’s launch, creating a contrast between the title’s strong market performance and internal organizational changes. The layoffs in the Barcelona development studio raised questions about the company’s resource allocation and strategic decisions even as the remake continues to perform well commercially.
