Black Flag Resynced Sells 2 Million Copies in 24 Hours, Doubling Shadows' Day-One Player Count

Summary
More than 2 million copies of Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag Resynced were sold in its first 24 hours, giving Ubisoft a bigger launch than Assassin’s Creed Shadows.
That total doubles Shadows’ opening-day figure of 1 million players, a stronger benchmark because Black Flag Resynced’s number reflects sales rather than overall players.
Ubisoft marked the milestone with a redemption code for Crimson Storm sails and 1,500 Animus Keys, while brand chief Martin Schelling tied the response to long-running fan demand for Edward Kenway’s return.
The early sales surge matters beyond this release: Ubisoft has said plans for more Assassin’s Creed remakes depend on Black Flag Resynced’s performance, even as Ubisoft Barcelona—one team on the project—recently cut 51 jobs.
