Despite facing substantial online criticism prior to its release, "Assassin's Creed: Shadows" has emerged as a best-seller in the US gaming market. In its first three weeks, it consistently ranks alongside Capcom's "Monster Hunter Wilds" as a top seller, indicating strong consumer interest. This success comes at a critical time for Ubisoft, which has struggled with recent releases and is reorganizing its operations. The game's performance reassures stakeholders that Ubisoft can still produce commercially successful games, countering narratives of decline and controversy surrounding its content.
Assassin's Creed: Shadows has been the best-selling video game in the US for each of its first 3 weeks in market, according to Circana's Retail Tracking Service.
Shadows' success is an incredibly valuable card in Ubi's deck and proves that, despite all the publisher's flaws, it can still release big budget games.
Online vitriol from fans regarding Yasuke's portrayal didn't hinder the game's sales, demonstrating the wider gaming public's greater acceptance and appetite for the title.
The impressive sales figures in the USA suggest Ubisoft may have turned a corner after struggling with previous releases.
