Ubisoft has partnered with Unsolved Hunts for one of the most eye-catching marketing blitzes in gaming history. In “celebration” of the upcoming release of Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced, a treasure chest containing gold coins and precious opals with a total value of approximately $500,000 has been hidden somewhere in the Caribbean. One lucky fan (???) who can spend enough money to go caving across 92,541 square miles or has the ability to solve and delve into 15 riddles (???) will be handsomely rewarded for their extremist efforts.
Huge game publishers have a lot of money to do all kinds of weird and wild things. Of course, it's a bid to make more money, and sometimes it's successful. Few concepts raise awareness more readily than the prospect of free money. this is not the case technically It's eligible, but with $500,000 in prize money at stake, it's close enough.
Yes, this is completely normal.
But did I say opal? I should have clarified. Crystal skull decorated with opal. Hardcore, right?
They call the game “The Lost Treasure of Edward Kenway” and it's available for pre-order (???) now on the Gold & Crystal website for $39.99. It includes a digital interface and requires you to solve 15 riddles over an unspecified release period. However, pre-ordering will give you access to one mystery before this strange experience is released, a week before it launches on November 9th. I'm not talking about Black Flag. That's July 9th. What I'm talking about is… this.
By the way, there are several different tiers to choose from, all the way up to the $229.99 version, which will give you a lot of rewards. Please note that neither tier includes a copy of Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced. Because that's stupid.
Born from a collaboration between Gold & Crystal, rooted in the history of piracy Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resync And Unsolved Hunts is a treasure hunt that takes you deep into the archives and forgotten secrets of the Caribbean… Armed only with your intelligence and patience, you must solve 15 riddles to find a chest hidden somewhere in the Caribbean and claim $500,000 worth of treasure.
Do you have enough intelligence, patience, and at least $40 to collect dust? Ubisoft and Unsolved Hunts expect this competition of wits and everything else to last two to five years, which may sound downright absurd. But from what I've heard, these “mystery” and timely releases of information are explicitly designed to keep the situation going. extremely It's been vague for quite some time, so yes, hypothetically it could take that long.
Or maybe you stumble upon a chest while swimming in an incredibly unique lagoon in a remote corner of the Caribbean. I don't know. Good luck!
