New Milestones Achieved by Assassin’s Creed Origins and Odyssey

Ubisoft has made quite a buzz with their announcement that both Assassin’s Creed Odyssey and Assassin’s Creed Origins have welcomed over 40 million players each. This milestone really highlights the enduring appeal these games have had among fans who love immersing themselves in their richly detailed worlds and historical narratives.

Meanwhile, Assassin’s Creed Shadows, though it hasn’t yet matched these player numbers, has been a stellar performer since its launch on March 20. Continuously taking top spots on sales charts, it has captured players with its stunning graphics, gripping storyline, and refined combat system. This success story is particularly uplifting for Ubisoft, given that some of their recent releases have struggled to gain popularity. However, for now, it still trails behind the current year’s leading title, Monster Hunter Wilds.

In addition, those who haven’t yet experienced Odyssey and Origins might be pleased to learn about the free next-gen upgrades available for both Xbox Series X/S and PlayStation 5. These enhancements offer newcomers and returning players a fresh way to experience these epic adventures.

Assassin’s Creed has always offered more than just a gaming experience—each installment provides a thrilling blend of history and fiction. Players appreciate being transported to different eras, diving into stories filled with rich details, engaging stealth mechanics, and epic battles.

As for Assassin’s Creed Shadows, while it’s too soon to predict if it will reach the same heights as its predecessors, its initial success certainly shows promise. Despite some initial debates surrounding its release, players are clearly enjoying the expansive universe and deep content, focusing on intriguing characters like the samurai Yasuke and the shinobi Naoe. These encouraging sales figures and the celebrated milestones of Origins and Odyssey leave franchise enthusiasts feeling hopeful about what’s next for Assassin’s Creed.
