Ubisoft has announced that Assassin’s Creed Shadows exceeded 2 million players worldwide. The announcement comes just two days after the game launched on March 20.
On March 20, the game reached 1 million players after just a few hours. The new announcement post from Ubisoft, confirming Assassin’s Creed Shadows‘ 2 million player milestone, says the following:
“We’re thrilled to celebrate this incredible milestone! Assassin’s Creed Shadows has now surpassed the launches of AC Origins and Odyssey. Thank you for joining the journey in Feudal Japan.”
Alongside the release of Assassin’s Creed Shadows, Ubisoft released a prequel manga for Assassin’s Creed Shadows in Japan. The manga, titled Assassin’s Creed Shadows: Iga no Monogatari (Tale of Iga), will release worldwide at a later date. Reguje will illustrate it.
Ubisoft describes the manga as follows: “Discover the official prequel of the game. Follow the story a young Assassin apprentice, as she fights against the growing presence of the Templars order in Japan.”
It also confirmed that Shadows will depart from the traditional season pass model. There will be no early launch for players who purchase a specific edition of the game. Additionally, the “Claws of Awaji” expansion will be available for free to those who pre-order Shadows.
Lastly, Assassin’s Creed Shadows is available now on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam, Epic Games Store, and Ubisoft Store. Initially, it would’ve released on November 15, but it was then delayed to February 14. Now it has finally released, one month later, on March 20. The game also features support for the Steam Deck.
