Funny how they only used "players" as a number when the controversial AC Shadows came out last year, and now they are using "sold" when the number is actually good and nothing to be ashamed of.
I don't get the joke here. I dont think there is any indication that Shadows sold poorly. Plus Black Flag is a series favorite and so it was always expected yo sell well. Its kinda like the Black Ops 2 situation. Pretty sure its trading blows with some newer COD releases right now.
it was a mixed bag with Valhalla. First day revenue and first week copy sales for Valhalla were announced to be the highest in the series, and 2 years after release Ubisoft said it was their 2nd most profitable game since the company was founded. However, we never got exact copy sales numbers, just 20 million players 2 years after launch which included not only their own Ubisoft+ sub service, but also players on Sony's PS+ Extra tier from March 2022 until the 20m players announcement in October 2022.
No doubt about that, Shadows underperformed. It did 3m players in the first week while this remake of Black Flag did 3m sales in the first week, so on Shadows they were including the people who played the game on the highest tier of the Ubisoft+ subscription service, which has day one releases. The legs were even worse than the launch sales, it hit 3m players first week but took 3 months to hit 5m players. We never got any numbers for Shadows since, not even on their fiscal 2026 financial call back in March. They did claim that Shadows was responsible for higher than expected Q4 fiscal 2026 revenue (January-March 31, 2026), but revenue was lower than expected for the entire fiscal year (April 2025, a month after Shadows released, through March 2026).
Its almost like Ubi gave people what they were asking for...
I guess this means we're getting Splinter Cell Remakes/Remasters now...
I don't recall seeing a lot of people ask for a remake of Black Flag. Personally I think Ubisoft just noticed how popular the game was and decided to capitalize on that. I wouldn't get my hopes up regarding Splinter Cell - but I guess you never know. With this success, it probably won't be the last remaster they do either.
Same here. I actually remember quite a few people questioning the logic of this remake, just as with The Last of Us. But it does seem that they did a pretty decent job with it.
Bought it today and on boot-up, aside from the Animus Hub which seems superfluous, it showed me how much AC has fallen in recent years as from the off the Black Flag just so much more character and doesn’t feel like a generic designed-by-committee game.
People wanted a worse Black Flag?
