Key Points:
- Ubisoft has launched a real-life Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced treasure hunt called "The Lost Treasure of Edward Kenway," featuring a $500,000 prize buried somewhere in the Caribbean.
- The prize includes specially-minted solid gold coins worth $350,000 and a rock crystal skull with a red opal jewel valued at $150,000, inspired by the game's mysterious artifact.
- The treasure hunt involves solving 15 elaborate riddles themed around Black Flag, but no prior knowledge of the game is required; access to clues costs between £31 and £177 depending on the package.
- The puzzles are designed to be solved remotely and collaboratively, though the actual treasure is physically located in the Caribbean, and the hunt is expected to take between two and five years to complete.
- Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced is set to launch on July 9 for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S, with a $200 Collector's Edition available that includes an Edward Kenway statue.
