Ubisoft just dropped the sales bomb: Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced has already cleared 2 million copies sold in its first 24 hours, and the Famitsu charts show the PS5 version moving 17,152 physical units in Japan during its debut week alone. Game Director Richard Knight confirmed in a JorRaptor interview that New Game Plus development is already underway — "we're working on that right now," he said, calling it low-risk and a priority for post-launch updates. Ubisoft's own announcement thanked players for "sailing with us again" while touting record Steam concurrent players at 99,451. The remake launched July 9 on PS5, PC, and Xbox Series, rebuilt on the latest Anvil engine with modernized systems, new missions, and expanded arcs for Blackbeard and Stede Bonnet. Meanwhile, Ubisoft Barcelona is striking over proposed layoffs even as this thing prints money. The pirate ship is back in business, but the studio's internal deck is still on fire.
