Unveiled last week, Assassin’s Creed Shadows is apparently flying off the pre-order shelves, with “no one in the know” disappointed. Numbers are public, but we can kind of get a feel for its strong sales.
As shared on X by reliable industry insider Tom Henderson, he has details on the game’s pre-orders, no numbers but it apparently is selling well. Even though the game is poised for a late 2024 release, people just can’t help themselves.
Assassin's Creed Shadows pre-orders are looking very strong. I don't have the exact numbers yet, but no one in the know is disappointed with them.

We got a first-look at the game itself last week with its world premiere trailer, starring the dual protagonist route, players control a stealth-focused shinobi, Naoe, and historical figure, Yasuke, who seems to foster more of an offensive play style.
In some bitter news tied to it, though, just like Star Wars Outlaws, even if you buy the game physically, you’ll need an internet connection to install the game. Ubisoft, meanwhile, is in love with its high-priced tiers — we assume — with players able to spend as much as $129.99, with exclusive weapons, armor, a Photo Mode filter, and more.
