Red Bull Athlete Breaks World Record for Assassin’s Creed-Inspired Haystack Jump

Black Flag Resynced has enjoyed a stellar launch, selling a jaw-dropping 2 million copies in just 24 hours. A week later, it has now surpassed 3 million copies sold, with Ubisoft announcing new game plus is on the way.

In fact, Black Flag managed to rake in $1 million from its day-one DLC on Steam alone, earning the series’ biggest playerstreak on the PC gaming platform in Assassin’s Creed history.

Despite this success, Black Flag’s release hasn’t come without controversy, as Ubisoft notably announced plans to lay off 380 staff members in June. This included 51 employees who contributed to the game’s diving sections at Ubisoft’s Barcelona office, who are now campaigning for fair severance pay, arguing that what they were given was “below any reasonable standard.”
