Ubisoft has announced that both Assassin’s Creed Odyssey and Assassin’s Creed Origins have reached an impressive new milestone, as they’ve both reached over 40 million players. The monumental achievement exemplifies just how much Assassin’s Creed Odyssey and Origins resonated with fans of the franchise.

While it certainly hasn’t reached nearly as many players, Assassin’s Creed Shadows has proven to be a massive success for Ubisoft, as it has managed to continually top the sales charts since its release on March 20. Many fans have praised the title for its impressive visuals, engaging story, and sharp combat. This has been great news for Ubisoft, as some of its most recent titles have struggled to find an audience. While Assassin’s Creed Shadows is doing very well, it hasn’t surpassed the bestselling game of the year so far, Monster Hunter Wilds.

Assassin’s Creed Shadows’ Yasuke Could Be an Interesting Role Model for Far Cry

Assassin’s Creed Shadows’ Yasuke is unlike anything the series has seen before, and hopefully, Ubisoft takes that fun concept to Far Cry.

In a recent post on Twitter, Ubisoft announced that Assassin’s Creed Origins and Assassin’s Creed Odyssey have both surpassed the 40 million player mark. Assassin’s Creed Origins was originally released on October 27, 2017, and is currently sitting at a score of 85 on OpenCritic. Meanwhile, Assassin’s Creed Odyssey was released on October 15, 2018, and is currently sitting at a score of 84 on OpenCritic. While originally released on the Xbox One and PlayStation 4, gamers looking to jump into Assassin’s Creed Odyssey and Origins today may be happy to learn that they have received next-gen upgrades for the Xbox Series X/S and PlayStation 5.

Assassin’s Creed Origins and Odyssey Have Surpassed 40 Million Players

While Assassin’s Creed has always taken liberties with historical accuracy, a large portion of the community loves the franchise for its attention to detail and ability to bring history to life. Many fans also appreciate the games for their stealth mechanics and thrilling combat, turning every fight into a breathtaking encounter.

There’s no way of knowing if Assassin’s Creed Shadows‘ impressive sales numbers will result in it reaching a similar milestone someday, but it is off to a running start. Despite some initial controversy surrounding the title, the stories of the samurai Yasuke and the shinobi Naoe appear to have struck a chord with fans of the franchise. Gamers seem to be enjoying their time with the title’s vast open world and staggering amount of content. After seeing the impressive sales of the new title and the announcement of a major milestone for Origins and Odyssey, many players are feeling optimistic about the future of the Assassin’s Creed franchise.
