Assassin’s Creed Shadows has proven very successful for Ubisoft, as it reaffirmed in its full fiscal year results. The open-world action RPG has the second-highest day-one sales in the series’ history and set a new record for day-one performance of a Ubisoft title on the PlayStation Store, which is already known.
However, the publisher also revealed that its consumer spending and player count to date have “clearly” outperformed Assassin’s Creed Odyssey. If that wasn’t enough, players have spent 160 million hours in-game, a significant jump from the 40 million+ reported on March 28th.
Available for Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and PC, Assassin’s Creed Shadows takes place in Feudal Japan during the late Sengoku Era. Players control Naoe and Yasuke as they work together to deliver justice for their own goals. Ubisoft laid out extensive post-launch plans for the title, including the Claws of Awaji expansion launching this year.
