As mentioned in IGN's previous coverage, Ubisoft has typically only shares player numbers – not sales – when new Assassin's Creed games arrive. That's suddenly changed for Assassin's Creed ****** Flag Resynced, suggesting the publisher is pleased as punch by how things have gone thus far. Whether it will continue to be so forthcoming about these figures remains to be seen.

Yo Ho Ho! More than 3 million copies sold across the seas...

Special thanks to all of you for playing and sharing tall tales about your Caribbean adventures.
Guess we'll have to keep the adventures going with New Game+ later on, mates.

Meanwhile, Ubisoft celebrated the 3 million milestone by confirming a New Game Plus mode is on the way. It said the team's work on post-launch support, including things like quality-of-life updates and bug fixes, has helped it maintain a "Very Positive" rating from English reviews on Steam (note: reviews in all languages are currently "Mostly Positive"). Details about New Game Plus were not shared, but the mode is promised to "further enhance replayability."

Game director Richard Knight had also teased the mode was in development during a conversation with YouTuber

helped set the stage.

"Well, this is the one thing I can say: Yes, we're working on that right now," Knight said. "For sure. It's one of the first things. Partly because Shadows has already built their version, so it's considered a low-risk feature for us. We're still doing the work, so I can't promise exactly a day or anything, but we're definitely working on this one. It's just such a natural thing."

Regarding a potential release date, he said, "I really can't promise anything. It's at the top of the list of things. There's a lot of things – some are harder than others – but it's something we definitely want to get done."
