Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced New Game Plus Confirmed as Ubisoft Marks 3 Million Copies Sold
Ubisoft has confirmed that a New Game Plus mode is coming to Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced, timed to coincide with the remake passing 3 million copies sold. The milestone marks a rapid rise in sales and is notable because Ubisoft rarely discloses sales figures for Assassin's Creed titles, typically sharing only player numbers, suggesting the publisher is especially pleased with the game's performance despite recent layoffs among the development team.
The 3 million sales figure is up 1 million from the previous week, when Ubisoft reported 2 million copies sold within 24 hours of the game's 9 July launch on PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. No details of the New Game Plus mode have been revealed, though game director Richard Knight said work was underway, aided by the mode already existing in 2025's Assassin's Creed Shadows, and that post-launch support has helped the game maintain a "Very Positive" English-language rating on Steam. IGN awarded the remake 9/10 in its review.
In short
- Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced has sold 3 million copies
- Ubisoft confirms a New Game Plus mode is in development
- Sales jumped 1 million in a week; game holds strong Steam reviews
Explained simply
Assassin's Creed Black Flag was a video game released by publisher Ubisoft in 2013 that became popular for its pirate-focused storyline set in the Caribbean during the early 18th century. The game was part of the Assassin's Creed franchise, a long-running series of games.
Ubisoft released a remake called Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced in July 2026 on PC and current-generation consoles, updating the graphics and gameplay for modern systems. The remake has sold 3 million copies in its first few weeks, representing strong sales for an updated version of a 13-year-old game.
Ubisoft rarely announces sales figures for Assassin's Creed titles, instead typically sharing information about player numbers. The fact that Ubisoft chose to publicise this sales milestone suggests the publisher views the remake's commercial performance as particularly significant.
