Assassin’s Creed Shadows is making waves in the gaming world, already outshining some of its RPG predecessors. In just a single day, this thrilling Feudal Japan adventure lured over a million players into its captivating world. As the first weekend unfolds, the achievements continue to pile up. Ubisoft has proudly announced that more than two million enthusiasts have embarked on the journey in Assassin’s Creed Shadows. This remarkable feat was accomplished in less than two days since its official release.
In an enthusiastic social media post, the publisher shared, “We’re thrilled to celebrate this incredible milestone. Assassin’s Creed Shadows has now surpassed the launches of AC Origins and Odyssey. Thank you for joining the journey in Feudal Japan!” It’s not yet clear whether Shadows has outsold its predecessors within this timeframe, or if it simply attracted more players, but it is undeniably a massive success. So far, the only game in the series that’s ahead is Valhalla, which remains the largest in franchise history, spurred on by the excitement of new-gen consoles.
Shadows is already eyeing a series record. Currently, there are over 58,000 active players on Steam enjoying Assassin’s Creed Shadows concurrently, marking the second-highest peak in the series and climbing steadily to outpace AC Odyssey in history books.
