Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced sells over two million copies in 24 hours

The very first Assassin's Creed game was launched on November 13, 2007, for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. A PC version followed on April 8, 2008. Since its debut 19 years ago, the franchise has grown into one of Ubisoft's flagship series. Some noteworthy titles include:

• Assassin's Creed II (2009)
• Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag (2013)
• Assassin's Creed Origins (2017)
• Assassin's Creed Odyssey (2018)
• Assassin's Creed Valhalla (2020)

One of these titles has just been re-released as a remake, namely Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced. It has already sold over two million copies in its first 24 hours of market availability, exceeding a previous record set by Assassin's Creed Shadows ($45 for the Nintendo Switch at Amazon). To mark the sales milestone and show appreciation to players, Ubisoft is offering a redemption code that grants a Crimson Storm sail set along with 1,500 Animus Keys for use in the Animus Hub store. Players can redeem the code below on Ubisoft's website:
 

Whether Ubisoft will continue to develop remakes is highly uncertain due to a recent round of layoffs. 51 employees at Ubisoft Barcelona, one of the studios that worked on the project, are currently facing layoffs despite the game's strong reception.

Those who are still on the fence about purchasing a copy can take a sneak peek via the launch trailer below.
