Transfer over 50 Cent: Blood on the Sand, as a result of Murderer’s Creed Black Flag Resynced is the newest online game to characteristic a weirdly costly and garish cranium in its advertising marketing campaign. Besides, this time round, you’ll be able to personal mentioned cranium your self, offered you wish to pre-order a $40 treasure hunt and go snooping round within the aribbean sea.
That’s as a result of Ubisoft has teamed up with the “main treasure hunt” firm Unsolved Hunts to provide Gold & Crystal – The Misplaced Treasure of Edward Kenway; a scavenger hunt that can require you to unravel fifteen riddles after which bodily journey to someplace within the Caribbean to dig up a literal treasure chest containing “pure gold cash” and a rock crystal cranium adorned with an opal, price roughly $500,000. To get in on the motion, it’s a must to pay a minimal of $40, however you’ll be able to pay as much as $230 to get some additional goodies, like a pocket book and a board sport. The weirdest factor in regards to the marketing campaign is that not one of the accessible tiers, together with the $230 “Pirate Lord” tier, really comprises a replica of Murderer’s Creed Black Flag Resynced. You will get a flag and a pure gold treasure coin emblazoned with the Murderer’s Creed Black Flag emblem, however that’s just about it.
Stranger nonetheless, it is a pre-order of a treasure hunt, as “all different parts of the sport might be despatched to you by November 9,” at which level the “full hunt” will change into accessible. The Gold & Crystal FAQ additionally states that the treasure hunt “is anticipated to final between 2 and 5 years,” so I’m not totally positive how the week’s head begin you get from pre-ordering might be a “decisive benefit.”
It’s actually a cool thought, don’t get me fallacious, I’m simply not totally positive who the goal marketplace for that is. I imply, if I wished to LARP as a pirate and sail to the Caribbean to uncover some hidden treasure, I’d simply pre-order Murderer’s Creed Black Flag Resyn–oooh, very intelligent, Ubisoft. You bought me.
