It seems that controversies surrounding the Black samurai and spring watermelons haven't significantly impacted pre-orders for Assassin’s Creed: Shadows. During Ubisoft’s latest financial report, CEO Yves Guillemot stated that the game is performing exceptionally well.
According to Guillemot, pre-orders for Assassin’s Creed: Shadows are steadily growing and are on par with Assassin’s Creed Odyssey—the second most successful entry in the series. The top spot, of course, still belongs to Assassin’s Creed Valhalla.
The Ubisoft chief also expressed satisfaction with recent previews, which praised the game’s storytelling, immersive experience, and the complementary gameplay styles of its two protagonists.
Assassin’s Creed: Shadows is set to launch on March 20. Ubisoft recently released a new PC-focused trailer, highlighting platform-specific features.
