Explore the unexpected success of Assassin’s Creed Shadows, a thrilling new chapter in the iconic series that captivates and surprises.
The Assassin’s Creed series, known for its innovative beginnings but repetitive patterns in recent years, seemed to be losing its allure among gamers. Yet, the release of Assassin’s Creed Mirage rekindled some interest. Still, skepticism loomed over the upcoming Assassin’s Creed Shadows. Released on March 20th, this latest installment managed to dispel those doubts swiftly.
While Shadows garnered a mix of critical reviews, its commercial success is undeniable. The game not only received a generally positive reception but also captured the attention of a significant player base. Despite a divided fanbase, the sales figures tell a compelling success story.
Launched with a thunderous debut, Assassin’s Creed Shadows attracted 1 million players on its first day. The game sustained its momentum, dominating the bestseller charts throughout March. This achievement propelled it to become the second best-selling game of 2025 in the US, overtaking the much-anticipated Kingdom Come: Deliverance II. Meanwhile, Monster Hunter Wilds continues to hold the top position.
With a slew of anticipated releases on the horizon, including the monumental GTA VI, Shadows may eventually find itself outside the top three by year’s end. Nevertheless, its current performance ensures its place as a standout success. Not only has it revitalized the Assassin’s Creed brand, but it has also provided a much-needed boost to Ubisoft during challenging times.
