Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced hit launch and the fan scene immediately returned to Edward Kenway and the Jackdaw, with streamers and players sharing praise for the remaster's storytelling, visuals, and ship upgrade guides as they replay the pirate campaign. At the same time, reports say Ubisoft Barcelona laid off 51 employees who worked on Resynced, a jarring counterpoint to the celebration. PC players also faced a sudden barrier when Ubisoft Connect outages made the single-player game temporarily unplayable for many despite the company's offline play claims. Amid the chaos, a one-of-a-kind PC tied to the Resynced launch circulated in a competition that fans were entering and talking about while they streamed and posted guides.
