Over the past two weeks, we've seen a sharp rise in the Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag player count, and players unlocking the Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag achievements. From what we can tell, it seems all the buzz surrounding Ubisoft's new "quadruple-A" adventure title Skull and Bones is likely behind the influx of players returning to the classic Assassin's Creed game
Player count for the 2013 pirate game has recently grown to nearly 3,600 concurrent players at time of writing. Since 2020, years, its peak idled at (or over) 1,000 players.
While it's nowhere near the over-16,000 peak of its launch a decade ago, it does show how much players yearn for the same swashbuckling high Black Flag first delivered in 2013.
A similar event is occurring with Batman: Arkham Knight. After Suicide Squad came out in early February, Rocksteady's 2015 game has hit a peak of over 6,700 players on Steam.
