Ubisoft is banking heavily on Assassin’s Creed Shadows for success, especially after the underwhelming Star Wars Outlaws. Fortunately, despite multiple delays and some controversies, its pre-orders are “tracking solidly”, per its third-year fiscal year 2025 financials.
Furthermore, they’re in line with that of Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, the franchise’s second-most successful title, with Valhalla being the first. Whether Shadows can achieve comparable launch sales to the latter remains to be seen, but thus far, previews have been positive.
Assassin’s Creed Shadows launches on March 20th for Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and PC. A new trailer recently outlined the game’s PC-exclusive features, including ray-traced reflections and ambient occlusion, support for XeSS 2.0 (alongside other upscalers and Frame Generation), and much more. Check out the system requirements for even more details.
