Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag Has Over 34 Million Players Since Launch

Ubisoft recently posted a Tweet on the official Assassin’s Creed Twitter account, celebrating the 10th Anniversary of the fan favorite title Assassin’s Creed IV Black Flag. In the same tweet, the publisher announced that the pirate themed title has had over 34 million players worldwide since its launch. Assassin’s Creed IV Black Flag first launched on October 29, 2013 for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and Wii U. The game is also available for PlayStation 4, PC, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch. The game follows Edward Kenway, a pirate ship captain who is “thrust into the ancient war between Assassins and Templars, a war that may destroy everything the pirates have built.”

The game’s details via its Steam page:

The year is 1715. Pirates rule the Caribbean and have established their own lawless Republic where corruption, greediness and cruelty are commonplace.

Among these outlaws is a brash young captain named Edward Kenway. His fight for glory has earned him the respect of legends like Blackbeard, but also drawn him into the ancient war between Assassins and Templars, a war that may destroy everything the pirates have built.

Welcome to the Golden Age of Piracy.
