After Assassin’s Creed: Origins helped to refresh the Assassin’s Creed series, the latest entry appears to be doing even better. According to Gematsu, Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey launch sales have set a new record for the series.
Ubisoft’s statement on Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey launch sales:
Ubisoft Senior Vice President of Sales and Sarketing Geoffroy Sardin said that “We are incredibly proud of what the team accomplished with Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, and humbled by the amazing reception from critics and players. Based on the quality of the game and the very encouraging reactions from players, we expect Odyssey to be one of the top performing Assassin’s Creed games of all-time. Launch is just the start of this epic journey. We have robust content plans for Assassin’s Creed Odyssey that will keep players engaged and exploring the game’s beautiful and compelling world for a long time to come.”
It’s also interesting that this is the game Google has chosen to use to demo their game streaming project. With some very comprehensive post-launch DLC plans, Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey should continue to do well.
