Ubisoft has recently shared some exciting news: both Assassin’s Creed Odyssey and Assassin’s Creed Origins have shattered milestones by drawing in over 40 million players each. This achievement highlights the deep connection these games have formed with fans of the series, showcasing their enduring appeal.
Meanwhile, Assassin’s Creed Shadows has been making waves of its own. Since its release on March 20th, it’s consistently been a top-seller. Players have been raving about its stunning graphics, gripping storyline, and dynamic combat system. Although it hasn’t quite overtaken Monster Hunter Wilds, the blockbuster of the year, it’s still a significant win for Ubisoft, especially given some of their recent titles haven’t caught on as successfully.
In a tweet, Ubisoft celebrated the success of Origins and Odyssey, both living up to their critical acclaim with Origins boasting an 85 and Odyssey an 84 on OpenCritic. Originally launched for the Xbox One and PlayStation 4, both games are now available with next-gen upgrades for the Xbox Series X/S and PlayStation 5, keeping them fresh and appealing for new and returning players.
The Assassin’s Creed series has long been admired for its intricate details and historical settings, bringing the past to life with a blend of stealth and combat that keeps players engaged. Whether exploring ancient Egypt or Greece, the saga invites players into meticulously crafted worlds where history and adventure intertwine seamlessly.
While it’s uncertain if Assassin’s Creed Shadows will eventually reach the same 40 million player count as its predecessors, there’s optimism in the air. Its narrative, centered around the samurai Yasuke and the shinobi Naoe, has already resonated with the community. Players are immersed in its expansive open world and rich content, contributing to the game’s promising start. As Shadows continues to captivate audiences and Origins and Odyssey celebrate their impressive player base, the future looks bright for the Assassin’s Creed franchise.
