Ubisoft confidently reports strong preorder numbers for Assassin's Creed Shadows despite setbacks. Their latest financial report indicates preorders are comparable to those of Assassin's Creed Odyssey, the franchise's second best-selling title.
CEO Yves Guillemot emphasizes the company's focus on the March 20th launch, highlighting positive early previews praising the narrative, immersive experience, and dual protagonist gameplay. He commended the development team's dedication to delivering the franchise's most ambitious installment.
Originally slated for November, then February 14th, the game's release was delayed to March 20th. High expectations surround Assassin's Creed Shadows, marking the long-awaited Japan setting and the first full Assassin's Creed title since 2020. Its success is crucial for Ubisoft, following recent underperforming releases and investor concerns.
The game's promotional period has been marred by controversy. The development team issued apologies for historical inaccuracies in its depiction of Japan and unauthorized use of a historical recreation group's flag. Further, PureArts removed a collectible statue due to its "insensitive" design. These issues, coupled with delays, have fueled fan impatience.
