Ubisoft’s new game themed around Feudal Japan, Assassin’s Creed Shadows, was met with great interest in the gaming world. The game, which surpassed the 1 million sales threshold on its release day, surpassed 2 million sales on its third day. This rapid rise made the game one of the most successful productions in the series.

Assassin’s Creed Shadows surpasses 2 million sales

The game’s great success becomes even more remarkable when compared to previous series. Assassin’s Creed Origins and Assassin’s Creed Odyssey were among the strongest productions in the series in terms of sales figures. However, Assassin’s Creed Shadows quickly surpassed both of these games and achieved significant commercial success for Ubisoft.

The game, set in Feudal Japan, offers players an original gameplay experience by offering two different character options. Players can progress as samurai or shinobi and are involved in a deep story in the historical atmosphere of Japan.

However, the game was also criticized by the Japanese Prime Minister. Although some historical details and the way the game handled Japanese culture were criticized by Japanese authorities, this does not seem to have affected the commercial success of the game.

Despite this, the concurrent player record on Steam has not yet surpassed the figures achieved by Assassin’s Creed Odyssey. The game’s appeal to a wide range of users on different platforms directly affects player statistics on the PC side.

It is stated that the Guillemot brothers, who are among Ubisoft’s largest shareholders, aim to increase their control over major productions such as the Assassin’s Creed series by establishing a new venture. This commercial success of the new game will be an important factor in determining the company’s future strategies.

The company is expected to announce new updates and expansion packs for Assassin’s Creed Shadows in the coming period. So what do you think about this? You can share your opinions with us in the comments section below.
