Assassin's Creed Shadows celebrates the first success one day after the release. Ubisoft may have had a greater success for a long time.
Yesterday the Assassin's Creed Shadows, which was located in Japan, was finally published after several shifts, but the procedure including the numerous improvements up to the release could have paid off for Ubisoft. Reason: In the first day, it is becoming apparent that Assassin's Creed Shadows put an excellent start of sales.
It has already been confirmed that the brand broke one million players on the release day. The makers confirmed this only 15 hours after the official start via X (formerly Twitter) in a social media contribution. The new series part is also doing well on Steam, because the peak on simultaneous gamers was 41,412 players on the release day.
Also in comparison with the previous parts of the successful action series, Assassin's Creed Shadows is already very good. The peak of simultaneous players on Steam was significantly below the last parts of Mirage with 7,870 and Valhalla with 15,679 players. And: The 81 OpenCritic score also looks good at the moment and outperforms the last part, which has an average rating of 76.
Overall, this should ensure that the battered developer and publisher Ubisoft have a sigh of relief. He had recently released games that were ultimately significantly behind the high expectations, for example Star Wars Outlaws. It is to be hoped that the title will now also be well received in Japan, because there was a lot of criticism. Most recently, Assassin's Creed Shadows even pulled its circles in Japanese politics, which is why Ubisoft.
