Assassin's Creed Shadows Preorders Surpass Expectations, Matching Odyssey Sales

Feb 19,25(5 months ago)

Ubisoft confidently reports strong preorder numbers for Assassin's Creed Shadows, despite setbacks. The publisher's latest financial report indicates preorders are comparable to those of Assassin's Creed Odyssey, a franchise high-water mark.

CEO Yves Guillemot reinforces this optimism, emphasizing the company's complete focus on the March 20th launch. He highlights positive early previews praising the narrative, immersive experience, and the dual protagonist gameplay. Guillemot commends the development team's dedication to delivering the franchise's most ambitious installment.

Originally slated for November, then February 14th, Assassin's Creed Shadows' release was ultimately delayed to March 20th. The game carries significant weight for Ubisoft, representing the long-awaited Japan setting, the first full Assassin's Creed title since 2020, and a crucial release following recent underperforming titles and investor concerns.

The promotional period has been less than ideal, however. The development team issued apologies for historical inaccuracies in the game's depiction of Japan and unauthorized use of a historical recreation group's flag. Further controversy arose when PureArts pulled an "insensitive" collectible statue from sale. These issues, compounded by the delays, have led to growing fan impatience.
