As a seasoned gamer with countless hours spent sailing the open seas and scaling the towering spires of Assassin’s Creed IV Black Flag and Unity, I must say, Ubisoft, you’ve done it again! After years of waiting, we finally get Steam achievements for these classic games. It’s like finding a hidden treasure map in my game closet!

No, this is not a drill. Yes, it took them over a decade. But hey, at least they did it!

Eventually, even the most patient fans began to view the prospect as a forgotten tale, but surprisingly, Ubisoft reeled everyone in by incorporating Steam achievements into Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag.

Another Ubisoft game, this time set in the bustling streets of Paris, is also experiencing a surge of unexpected popularity: you can now strive for that satisfying 100% completion in Assassin’s Creed Unity.

Despite their age, these Assassin’s Creed games aged much better than some more recent entries.

On Steam, the most recent and overall reviews for “Assassin’s Creed IV Black Flag” have been overwhelmingly favorable, boasting an aggregate positive score of 88%.

Despite lagging slightly, Assassin’s Creed Unity maintains a reasonably impressive score, garnering largely positive reviews (78%) across the board.

The Completionist’s Woes

Examining the accomplishments section stirs up doubts about whether sufficient consideration was given to this unexpected overhaul.

A small portion, though noteworthy, of the accomplishments carried over at the game’s launch involve multiplayer interactions.

Lately, it seems that Ubisoft has developed an unwelcome pattern of shutting down game servers following a relatively short period of availability. This unfortunate situation was also experienced with the release of XDefiant.

It’s important to note that Ubisoft isn’t the only company to employ this strategy; for example, Electronic Arts (EA) shut down the online services of Battlefield 3, 4, and Hardline, even though these games still had a substantial number of active players.

As of now, there are no clear signs about when the servers for “Assassin’s Creed Black Flag” and “Unity” might be shut down, nor is it certain if the current achievements will be altered if these games transition into an offline-only mode.

This ambiguity serves as a powerful reminder for dedicated Assassin’s Creed completions to act swiftly and check off the online challenges immediately, since the game’s operations may soon be suspended.

In much the same way as numerous games that have reached a ten-year mark, it becomes challenging to locate others who are willing to play along.

So far, the most effective approach seems to be teaming up with a friend and organizing a gameplay session, given that both games can be found on Steam at substantial discounts.
