For whatever reason, a bunch of video game companies are helping advertise Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The social accounts for Control<\/a>, Dead by Daylight<\/a>, and various gaming hardware companies such as SteelSeries<\/a> have had their accounts taken over by marketing for Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced. The long-awaited remaster\/remake of the beloved Assassin’s Creed game dropped today and, to apparently help spread the word, all of these accounts posted about the game. Epic Game Store also rebranded its socials<\/a> by changing its profile picture and banner to feature Black Flag-themed imagery. McDonald’s even chimed in as well.<\/p>\n

The various accounts made posts claiming to have been “boarded” while throwing up the game’s signature black pirate flag. Social accounts for Ubisoft titles like Watch Dogs, Rabbids, and For Honor also took part in this marketing stunt but, given they’re under the same corporate umbrella, those make a bit more sense.<\/p>\n

The official Assassin’s Creed socials also dropped a code that allows players to get a free pet monkey, which will roam around on their ship while they sail the seas. It’s a fun way to celebrate<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
