Ubisoft confirmed a strong commercial start for its latest releases today, reporting that Assassin's Creed: Black Flag Resynched shifted more than two million copies on launch day and announcing an Edward Kenway-themed skin for Rayman Legends Retold.
The company attributed the figures to initial retail and digital sales across platforms.
Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag, the original title that introduced Edward Kenway, was developed by Ubisoft Montreal and released in 2013.
Edward Kenway remains one of the series' best-known protagonists; the newly reported Resynched release positions that legacy entry for a contemporary audience.
Rayman Legends, developed by Ubisoft Montpellier and first released in 2013, has a long port and re-release history including a Nintendo Switch version that arrived in 2017 as the Definitive Edition on the eShop and retail.
In a concise, company-issued statement, Ubisoft said it achieved more than two million copies sold of Assassin's Creed: Black Flag Resynched on day one and confirmed a crossover cosmetic: an Edward Kenway skin for Rayman Legends Retold.
The announcement accompanies release materials for the Resynched edition and promotional assets for Rayman Legends Retold.
Edward Kenway's inclusion in Rayman Legends Retold ties back to his role as the lead character of Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag, a nautical-era open-world action game that helped popularize naval combat in the franchise.
Ubisoft Montreal led development on Black Flag, while Rayman Legends is credited to Ubisoft Montpellier—both studios are long-standing internal teams within Ubisoft's global development network.
For Nintendo platforms, Ubisoft has a history of bringing both flagship and catalog titles to the Nintendo Switch, often via the Nintendo eShop and physical releases.
Rayman Legends' Switch Definitive Edition and other Ubisoft ports demonstrate the publisher's continued investment in Nintendo hardware.
Ubisoft's announced Day One sales milestone and the cross-franchise cosmetic announcement are factual items the company has publicized.
For players interested in the Edward Kenway skin or in obtaining Assassin's Creed: Black Flag Resynched, check Ubisoft's official channels and the Nintendo eShop for availability and platform-specific release details.
