According to a recent report by trusted video game analyst Andy Robinson of VGC, it appears that Assassin’s Creed Shadows has been quite successful.
According to unpublished sales figures, it’s been suggested that Shadows has secured the second largest debut in the entire Assassin’s Creed series, with only 2020’s Assassin’s Creed Valhalla having a bigger opening.
Valhalla possessed several distinct benefits over Shadows. It was cross-generational, meaning it could be played on both old and new consoles, and it was released in November rather than March, making it perfect for holiday season gaming. Moreover, its launch coincided with the beginning of the global COVID-19 pandemic, which led to lockdowns across the western world, boosting sales significantly. Ultimately, Valhalla became Ubisoft’s most financially successful game in their history.
Incidentally, this report seems to be constructed using the first day’s sales revenue, making it a more tangible measure of the title’s success compared to things like player counts and similar metrics.
Remarkably, the report indicates that Shadows broke Ubisoft’s previous record for a day one launch on the PlayStation Store, making it their “top-performing debut” on Sony’s digital platform. It’s noteworthy to mention that digital sales have been climbing steadily for nearly two console generations. However, given the number of AAA games Ubisoft has released for both PS5 and PS4, this achievement is particularly impressive.
It’s likely that Ubisoft will share a significant amount of data through their official platforms soon. Given their current situation, they have a strong motivation to demonstrate positive growth in their upcoming financial reports as the fiscal year approaches its end. So, it’s reasonable to expect that we’ll also see sales figures at that time.
