As we all know, Ubisoft has high hopes for "Assassin's Creed: Shadows", but unfortunately, even the long-awaited Japanese setting cannot save the publisher from the difficulties it is gradually falling into.

Despite a strong start, Assassin's Creed: Shadows has become the lowest-selling entry in the series' last five entries."Assassin's Creed: Shadows" was an incomplete game when it was released, missing many features.In addition, the game's controversy and some inaccurate depictions of the setting of feudal Japan also had a negative impact on its public relations.It can be seen that its sales are sluggish and it is reasonable.

"Assassin's Creed: Shadows" quickly reached 3 million players in its first week. However, six months after its release, total sales were only 4.3 million copies.Considering the time and budget invested in the game, this number is not ideal.

In comparison, "Assassin's Creed: Visions", a spin-off work, sold 5 million copies in three months, performing better than "Assassin's Creed: Shadows". The earlier RPG trilogy also achieved good results, and all sales exceeded "Assassin's Creed: Shadows".

Although Ubisoft has not officially confirmed the specific budget of "Assassin's Creed: Shadows", it has revealed that the amount exceeds $116 million.In today's game market, even reaching 10 million sales is only a conventional benchmark for AAA masterpieces.

After this performance fell short of expectations, Ubisoft and Tencent have jointly established a new subsidiary, Vantage Studios, which will lead Ubisoft's important IP including "Assassin's Creed" in the future.Perhaps this new collaboration can bring about a turning point for the series.

In terms of follow-up content, "Assassin's Creed: Shadow" has been continuously updated after its release, adding a large number of new mechanisms and tasks to the game.However, much of it feels like a "castration and redemption" feeling, and if Ubisoft had given the development team more time, the ending might have been different.
