Assassin’s Creed Origins and Odyssey Reach Exciting New Milestones

Ubisoft recently celebrated a remarkable achievement for two of its most popular games, Assassin’s Creed Odyssey and Assassin’s Creed Origins. Both titles have now surpassed the impressive milestone of 40 million players, a testament to their widespread appeal and the love they have garnered from fans of the series.

Although it hasn’t reached quite the same player numbers, Assassin’s Creed Shadows has proven to be a runaway success since it hit the shelves on March 20. Its continued reign at the top of sales charts is a testament to its captivating visuals, engaging storyline, and refined combat mechanics that have won over many fans. This success story is particularly sweet for Ubisoft, especially after facing challenges with some of its recent offerings. However, despite its success, Shadows hasn’t yet dethroned the year’s best-selling game, Monster Hunter Wilds.

In a recent Twitter announcement, Ubisoft confirmed that Assassin’s Creed Origins and Odyssey have both crossed the 40 million player threshold. With its original release date back in October 2017, Assassin’s Creed Origins earned a commendable 85 percent rating on OpenCritic. Its successor, Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, launched in October 2018, boasts an 84 percent rating. For those keen to dive into these immersive historical adventures on today’s consoles, there’s more good news: next-gen upgrades for both games are available on Xbox Series X/S and PlayStation 5 at no extra cost.

Fans of the franchise often laud it for its meticulous historical detail and knack for bringing past worlds vividly to life. Alongside its storytelling, the series’ stealth gameplay and exciting combat have consistently offered thrilling encounters that keep players on the edge of their seats.

Whether Assassin’s Creed Shadows will achieve a similar milestone in the future remains to be seen, yet its current trajectory is promising. Despite some initial buzz and debates around it, the tales of samurai Yasuke and shinobi Naoe have deeply resonated with the fanbase. Players are loving the expansive open world and the substantial content the game offers. With these exciting developments and achievements, many in the gaming community are optimistic about where the Assassin’s Creed series is headed next.
