Should developers listen to their gut more and not give in to shitstorms?
A complete success despite all the troubles
Do you have any sales figures to back that up
It outperformed the game they made 3 sequels ago how is that impressive
Gonna need to see those sales numbers, champ
If your only metic is that it out-performed a 7 year old game, then it wasn't a success. Also still no sales numbers posted. This is literally just the same as the ouya CEO.
The game broke PlayStation Network records for day-one sales and accumulated over 160 million hours played.
So where are the sales numbers then?
Cool, cool.
So, about those sales number?
Show me the sale numbers. The IRS doesn't care about PSN Records.
clearly outperformed Odyssey
By which metrics?
Just show the sales numbers and there will be an end to the horror.
Kek
Big publishers like Ubisoft never make detailed sales numbers public. They just inform if their goals have been achieved.
The numbers in units sold, show them to me.
desperate for ad revenue aren't we?
Where the proofs?
I love how Assaassin's Creed Shadows and Expedition 33 are mirrors to each other
Ahadiws is an Ubisoft game, E33 was made by ex-Ubisoft employees.
Shadows was heavily criticized pre-launch while E33 was heavily hyped and praised pre-launch
Shadows had a rought start sales-wise but eventually became one of the best selling games of 2025 while E33 had a strong launch window only to fall extremely sharply
Once people played Shadows they praised it as a good game while E33 is now considered the biggest disappointment of 2025 due to the game falling apart 1/3 in

How does it feel lying so blatantly?
Exactly. And one has to remember the shitstorm against ACS were baseless and came maily from the woke/alt-right and despite this it still became one of the biggets games
That's why their stocks tanked and they were doing constant damage control about how well it was doing?
Let's see those official sales figures lol
everything I don't like is woke/alt-right
It's so easy nowadays to stir away criticism...
So where are the goals achieved and did they achieve them?
In what kind of alternate reality are you living ?
Ubisoft is bleeding money in no small part due to Outlaws and Shadows. ACS was not a success by any metric. They couldn't even gaslight normalfags into thinking that Yasuke was a totally reasonable choice for a protagonist. There has never been a clearer example of inclusion being forced into a game. They literally just had to make the samurai an Asian, and the game would've sold on the premise alone, regardless of quality. Such an obvious fuck-up. Other than that the game is pretty much just mediocre
Okay so all the grifters on X are antifa or what? The criticism was only because ubisoft included yasuke. It was a baseless racist shitstorm
Yes the game successfully achieved all the things ubisoft aimed at
The investors were clearly not convinced that their goals had been reached
Didn't they release sales numbers numerous times in the past? Why are you defending a shit company?
Why did they raceswap a historically indian man into an african?
Surely all these sales will definitely help Ubisoft in the future!!
They did not
It's a succes!
How much did it sell?
We have millions of players!
Yes, but how much did you sell?
Loo! The second best launch after Odyssey!
The numbers, we want the numbers
An outstanding reception from our players!!!
If it was truly a success they would have said how many copies they sold. This is just fake positivity to make the game appear better than it is.
That's a funny joke but seriously post the sales numbers.
Why must you lie with every waking breath?
IT WAS A SUCCESS OKAY!
Company stock is lower than it has ever been
Company got bought by Chinese
Company had massive layoffs
Above average Anon Babble poster.
It’s not a win, but we’ll still say it is
What future?
It was a baseless racist shitstorm
strange, I don't remember people complaining about Altair or Connor, mmh... could it be that they were historically correct given the game's setting? Nah, people are just racists, yeah that must be it.
I cant wait for the witch game. My feminist witch revenge murder fantasy. I love being oppressed.
Ever heard about trumps tarifs?
b-but those are last years numbers!!! next year is HUGE!!
sales figures are racist and sexist and homophobic and xenophobic and transphobic and uhh... umm... and arachnophobic and...
Cool. Now make a new Rayman game.
Did yasuke exist during that time? Yes (historicsl fact)
Was he in japan? Yes (historical fact)
I hate that retard faggot vtuber so much.
Most stocks are trading higher now than when the tariffs started and Ubisoft has been eating shit long before Trump was even elected.
Do troons actually believe this? E33 cost pennies to make compared to ubislop which spent more than 400 million and only got 3 mil "players." E33 already has two and is growing
Which is rather weird, because no other AC protagonist has been a historical character
Holy shit, poster from an alternative reality!
And why, pray tell, for the first time they had to go with an historical character that really existed for the, instead of just inventing a character, like they did with all their previous AC installations?
Wow so much antisemitism
They will not, maybe nintendo buy the ip after ubi goes bakrupt
Huh? E33 had an all time peak of 140k concurrent players on Steam. AC: Shadows didn't even come remotely close to those numbers. And E33 was even on Gamepass day 1.
May I see the sale numbers?
ok we admit we didnt win the game, but we scored a goal on you chuds
So from it's not historical to it's too historical. Nice goalpost moving
the market has since made a V shaped recovery. Ubisoft stock continues to tumble down.
we did better than a 7 year old game
lol
Yasuke was a historical figure, that part is historically accurate. Him being a samurai is fictional, that part was completely made up by Thomas Lockley, a fraudulent "academic" who wrote a fictional novel about Yasuke, citing his own made up wikipedia articles about Yasuke as source. Hope that helps.
Yasuke being a samurai isn't historical at all. A black man being the samurai character in feudal Japan is not historically appropriate, and that's exactly the reason why they had to go with a person that existed. They then tried to spin him into being something he never was because their dumbfuck agenda just had to be pushed. When normalfags catch on, then you know you've shit the bed. It almost feels like intentional sabotage
Connor (imaginary character), a native american living innawoods in Boston is historically accurate.
Ezio (imaginary character), an italian living in Florence is historically accurate
Altair (imaginary character), an arab living in Masyaf (Syria) is historically accurate.
Guess what about Yasuke (historically accurate), an african living in feudal Japan doesn't feel right.
The real joke is that even if Shadows actually did "good" by Ubisoft standards, it was still guaranteed to be a commercial failure. They sunk way too much money into it with dev delays, failed merch, and all of that advertising.
Again what is it? According to you its too historical but also not historical. Make up your mind.
doesn't feel right.
Yeah historical facts dont care about your feelings
He's a historical character, but he was never a samurai nor of any importance. Hope that helps
E33 had a strong launch window only to fall extremely sharply
It surpassed Shadow's playercount, and still retains more than half of the all time peak numbers, which means new people are playing the game. It also reached higher all time peak several days post-launch and even mogs Oblivion player numbers at this very fucking moment, both games launched two days apart.
Once people played Shadows they praised it as a good game while E33 is now considered the biggest disappointment of 2025 due to the game falling apart 1/3 in
In what universe
TL;DR take your meds
No one said it's too historical, what are you talking about? People are annoyed that they used a historical character who was a completely irrelevant footnote in japanese history and made up some bullshit about him being a legendary samurai which isn't based on any historical evidence.
Yeah historical facts dont care about your feelings
him being a samurai was a fabrication by Thomas Lockley.
sales figures are for chuds! Billions played this!
Odyssey has had a higher player count the last few days.
Big publishers like Ubisoft never make detailed sales numbers public. They just inform if their goals have been achieved.
akshually a publicly traded company has to
game has one billion seconds played total all around the world and people are calling it a failure
lol lmao even
Is this a genuine jeet advertiser thread? I don't see someone trying to troll in such a corporate manner.
lol
It's possible. Ubisoft using Babel Media was confirmed years ago, and who knows what else they have in their arsenal of online shills and/or bots
Ubisoft reports great success on their Shadows release, citing that over one billion seconds have been played
There hasn't actually been a statement like that, right?
This game is being played in over 100 countries and people call this a failure. Wake the fuck up
Players have logged 160 million hours in Assassin’s Creed Shadows, underscoring its engaging gameplay and the enduring appeal of the franchise. The game’s performance reaffirms the strength and resilience of the Assassin’s Creed brand, backed by a strong community response that highlights that the team delivered an experience that resonates with long-time fans and new players alike.
Usual corporate bullshit nicely framed to sound like a win, even when it's not.

Yasuke was Nobunaga's court clown, not a Saumrai. Most people are getting sick of wewezzers being forced into everything. Why does every historical game, set outside sub-Saharan Africa, need to have nogs crowbarred into it?
may I see them?
Assassin's Creed Shadows may not be the worst loss(cause another Assassin's Creed game did worse), but a loss is a loss
fix'd
Still haven't heard a single person who actually played the game and seen noone playing it on youtube. It's like it only exists on forums.
82 millions LOSSES
Success
Oh yeah this reminds me of Disney saying The Acolyte had a gazillion minutes watched, huge success, and then they announced there wouldn't be a season 2 not even minutes after it finished
Because he is paid to, because ubishit puts more money into damage control than making good games.
sale numbers?
And how many people in those countries BOUGHT the game?
You sound exactly like the corpo faggots claiming that Veilguard "has reached 3 million players" only for them to confirm a few weeks later that the game was a massive failure, followed by closing the studio and giving the game out for free (and even less people claimed it for free). Tell your bosses to give you a better script, Visajeet
110 countries to be exact
stop dodging the question.the games been out for months, why aren't we seeing sales figures from this resounding success? Games like Expedition 33 have been announcing their millions of sales since the week they came out
It should be illegal to be THIS delusional, I am in awe
Why does every historical game, set outside sub-Saharan Africa, need to have nogs crowbarred into it?
USA is the largest market by far and they worship blacks and their culture is heavily afroamerican.
and accumulated over 160 million hours played.
So how many shills were paid to leave their consoles running for months with ACS stuck in main menu?
Lord Humungus mind
Nigga what fucking reality are you in?
open thread
fallacy shitshow
still no sales numbers
Yeah that's why they sold 25 percent of the company and ips to tencent. Good job jewbisoft
Nigger everything ubisoft says is a literal lie at this point. Stop being this delusional
I was watching someone slowly explore the map as the girl, the graphics and world design stuff actually looked pretty impressive.
It really is a shame about the giant black nigger samurai. I don't even mind black characters, genuinely, this was just not the time.
outperformed
in what way?
outperformed it since the release of shadows? why would a 7 year old game be performing better than a game that just released?
by my metric of the lesser number of nigger protagonists then odyssey has clearly got it beat, this is a completely factual statement, when you don't specify the metrics, it doesn't mean shit.
He wasn't a samurai tho. He was a glorified pet and dick washer
so what if people are racist
should have figured that in to your sales
i dont give a shit about niggers
whether they are in japan doesnt change that
Can we stop shitting on AC now?
Yes, Shadows is a mediocre game. But there are thousands of those _every single day_ on Steam.
Just let it rest.
But there are thousands of those _every single day_ on Steam.
How many of them are AAA with huge marketing campaigns and aggressively shilled on Anon Babble for weeks?
Yeah but this one is more meme worthy than those.
No? It's for mentally retarded people
idk I saw a post the other day that actually cites numbers and the game barely sold 2.4 million copies total. Only around 300k copies on PC.
Saw those figures too. The actual number is closer to 2.8 million lifetime sales.
Not that that changes anything considering we are nearing the end of its second month, and Odyssey managed to sell 3.4 million copies in its first month alone.
Private companies don't have incentives to publish sales figures, because they're not beholden to shareholders.
Public companies do, because it's imperative to both court new investors and allay the concerns of existing ones
A private company not publishing direct figures isn't particularly odd, while a public company not doing so is incredibly suspicious.
Even E33 which this board has made me hate with a passion sold more than this garbage.
Stop asking questions, chud.
160 million hours played
haha. love the way they're trying to avoid talking about the actual sales numbers
I don't trust shill media or reddit posts, no matter if they're saying it's a success or a flop.
But I do trust my own eyes, and not seeing Ubisoft releasing any "WE SULD ONE HUNDRED BILLION COPIES" and shit like that, instead using
uh, 55 gorillion players engaged with our product for a 400 yasukillion total hours played
Bitch that already tells me everything
Even more suspicious is that they refused to update any numbers at all. Not players, not engagement, not even revenue, only hours played.
Are you a homosexual faggot who likes getting fisted by men with fat hands? Yes
nah let's all just believe the 6 gorillion seconds played worldwide :^)
did japanese birds exist during that time? Yes (historical fact)
were they in japan? Yes (historical fact)
conclusion: japanese birds are ninja samurai assassins chosen by oda nobunaga himself
How? I recently decided to give Odyssey a second chance and it was not that bad. In fact Kassandra was rather charming. I just don´t see her loosing against Yasuke.
