Doesn’t matter, the budget was still so high it flopped anyway.
That’s why they’re splintering their IPs

Name one thing this game did wrong besides taking historical liberties in a franchise where adam and eve were aliens and where you beat up the pope

>>718669392 (OP)
I don't care about woke/non woke. Ubisoft, Activision and EA are shit and deserve to die.

Expedition 33 is woke and mogs anything Ubisoft made in the past decade. Kingdom Come 2 is also woke and is a masterpiece

>>718669849
defending themselves by saying "erm actually, this is historically accurate" in a game series where adam and eve are aliens instead of just saying "we wanted an afro samurai, fuck you"

>>718669849
> historical liberties in a franchise where adam and eve were aliens and where you beat up the pope


This argument is in bad faith.

Every AssCreed protagonist was always fictional character. Every historical inaccuracy was under closed doors, and there was always an attempt at being mostly historically accurate about the few alien things no one cares about

>>718669905

>KCD2
>Expedition 33

Those games pale in comparison. KCD2 had one nigger that played a minor role and didn’t black any of the women. Expedition 33 had one nigger who died very early on. AC: Shadows’ story literally revolves around a nigger samurai who kills Japanese men and fucks Japanese women. It’s too much for non-niggers, sorry.

Bullshit. I'm sure even stellar blade sold more

>>718669849
>>718669961
Altair was non white. Ezio was non white. Aveline de Grandpré was non white. Bayek was non white

People literally just wanted to play as Japanese dude in Japan and Ubisoft failed to deliver that


For fucks sake, people literally wanted non White Japanese character. No one wanted white character

It annoys me so much that we will never get to know how much money did making and marketing that game cost in total and how much it has made so far. I want to know for example if they have at least broken even.

>>718669517
>AI voice-over

Why didnt ubisoft report these wonderful numbers during their investor call when asked then? The act that having refused to do so resulted in a huge rout of the stock price.

>>718669392 (OP)
Yeah, all of my gamer friends and co-workers won't shut up about how much they love this game
Oh wait, no, not a single one of them bought it

>>718669392 (OP)
If this is true I'd be very surprised since I don't know a single person who has bought the game or has even talked about it at all.

>>718669392 (OP)
the only reason I would buy this is to go around and kill children without getting desync, just wanna see if this is still possible.

It outsold everything? Surely you have the sales data, then

>>718669392 (OP)
...in germany

>>718669392 (OP)
Nothing of remotely comparable budget released this year.

>>718670207
It certainly "broke even", but that's meaningless when you consider how much capital was tied up in it and for how long.
The opportunity cost tanked the stock and forced them to sell a large stake to the chinks at Tencent.

>>718669392 (OP)
So where is the sale number that can prove this claim? Surely a popular game like this can prove it sold more than MH Wilds which reported 10 million sales?

>>718669580
Allegedly, between 2.4 mill and 3 mill
>Ubisoft stated that Assassin's Creed Shadows surpassed a million players on its release date,[90] and had three million players within a week.[91][92] Steam showed a concurrent player count peak of 41,412 on launch day,[90] growing to 64,825 during the first weekend after launch.[92][93] The feat established the game as the highest Assassin's Creed game by concurrent players on Steam to date.[92] By July 2025, it had also surpassed 5 million unique players.[94] According to Ubisoft's fiscal report for 2024–2025, Assassin's Creed Shadows has outperformed Assassin's Creed Odyssey in consumer spending to date and achieved the second-highest day-one sales revenue in the history of the franchise, ranking only behind Assassin's Creed Valhalla.[95]
They talk mostly about "players", not sales
So this years is really grim for game's sales

I've played every ac game and this was extremely boring and tedious with horrific writing. easily one of the worst ones.

>>718670526
>It certainly "broke even"
Do we even know that besides conjecture, though? We do know it sold a lot of copies but I am not sure if they sold enough to make a profit or even break even considering the most probable staggering amlunt of money the game cost to make in total.

>>718669392 (OP)
A stunning (and brave) success, weird that they won't release any sales figures. Anyways, vote democrat.

The story was really bad. Like even for this franchise it was bad.

Not one mention of actual sales. For a game that's so successful you'd think Ubisoft would be happy to share units sold and wouldn't have given xir anus to Tencent.

>>718672604
They don't want to shame indie devs like Capcom just for Wilds selling only a meager 10 million copies.

>>718672408
What am I looking at?

So i compared some big games released in 2025 all time-peaks

>AC shadows: 64,627
>Clair Obscur: Expedition 33: 144,901
>Monster hunter wilds: 1,179,869
>Stellar blade: 130,770
>Kingdom Come: Deliverance II: 255,607
>The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered: 152,429
>WUCHANG: Fallen Feathers: 86,439

Obviously steam charts aren't 100% reliable, but it's pretty fucking hard to believe this outsold all of them with higher numbers

>>718672832
Shadows is sold on Ubisoft's own store and 6 gorrilion people bought the game on it. Who the fuck use Steam nowadays?

>>718669392 (OP)
Why was this game so forgettable? Usually even if I dont care for one of these big AAA releases I still see some evidence of it in social media feeds and whatnot but I've literally seen nothing about this whatsoever. It's pretty strange now that I'm thinking about it.

>>718672604
As everyone knows, Ubisoft is managed by some of the humblest people on the planet, they're simply too well-mannered to gloat about the incredible numbers of sales. The less they give sales numbers, the larger those numbers must be.

The dog ate my sales report but we sold a gorillion copies trust me bro

>>718673227
you can't just magically know how much a game sold unless the studio releases the numbers, but it definitely is a hit and outsold every other game this year. I read it in an article that cited a reddit post.

It is the best selling game of the year ok
STOP asking for numbers
just trust me bro
monster hunter wilds? never heard of it
mario kart world? what's that

>>718670554
That's less than E33. HTW does this even happen? If it's as simple as "black lead tanks sales" then why do they keep doing it? Is wokeness more important than money to them?

>>718672351
Both of those are much better than West slop like ass creed in terms of gameplay.

It's all about the opportunity cost of the investment.
If you spend 1 million dollars on a game over its 5-year development and only make 1.1 million in sales, you've effectively lost money because investing that 1 million in the stock market would have yielded better returns over the equivalent interval*.

*Yes, I know the money isn't all spent on day 1 of the development cycle, so assume the same expenditure schedule.

It's Box Office talk.

Think a movie that was $6million to make, add in the $2million in marketing costs, and if it only made $8million at the box office, that's still a failure because there is other costs (beyond marketing, think: shipment of said marketing and the film reels, etc.) that add into the actaul cost beyond development ($6) and marketing ($2) in addition.

Ubisoft took like a decade to make YASSSSuke's Creed. Even IF it made Oddy numbers (it didn't), it still wouldn't recoup all the losses Ubisoft company-wide has made.

Why did people think this game would fail when zoomers love blacks?

>>718670207
Game was in development since 2018 after they shipped Oddysey. Guilemot openly admitted that initial delay from November to February added 20million euro to games budget but keep in mind game was content complete at this point and it was going through polishing stage as they also openly admitted. This means overwhelming majority of devs were already moved onto different projects and outsourcing was done 100% and that shit still added 20 million euro. If we go by that figure it easily had 250million+ euro budget.

Even Mirage sold 24k+ just on PS5 and additional 6k copies on PS4 while Shadows sold 17k. It got outsold even by Liberation on Vita. Reminder they wanted Ghost of Sushi tier sales there and did a lot of marketing in Japan.

Show. me. proof.

>>718670207
We actually have a reasonable guess based on the credits, which are fuckhuge, the years in development, the burn rate during the emergency changes and the Tencent bailout. It's a full on AAAA game. Somewhere around 250 to 350 million for development alone, plus at least another 100 million for marketing, according to wall street analysits. Go look at the credits. .

> I want to know for example if they have at least broken even.
Previous guidance from Ubi themselves put their break even point at about 5 million full price sales. They had extra delays and had to refund all preorders after that though.
There is no way in hell they're getting that.

>>718671131
>>718670526
It sold millions, easily. But it's budget is completely fucking nuts. They didn't even try to say it "broke even" at the last investor meeting.

>>718681005
Well, for starters, the nagger in Liberation wasn't in Japan. So, write that down...

>>718670924
...those few other publishers include expedition 33.

>>718681657
Nintendo of Europe doesnt give that type of data to anyone. Majority of sellers and vendors do not as publishers request to not do so. I geniuenly wonder from where those numbers come from. I have worked in Bandai Namcos European division for couple of years so unless something changed all that data is from "estimates" which is retarded.

>>718671016

>>718670207
It's amazing to me that Ubisoft is able to just outright refuse to disclose that information to its own shareholders. I almost think that's illegal. Certainly something they can be sued over, at a minimum. But it's the fact Ubisoft is keeping those numbers under wraps that tells me the real numbers are genuinely horrible because otherwise they'd be bragging about it constantly.
Truth is, AC Shadows was a tremendous flop, even if they inflated the player numbers by putting it on gamepass and then trying to pass that statistic off as the 'number of purchases'

>>718670554
Despite this, leftroons are still going to parrot the article as "fact" that it sold well.
It's strange how they will actively fight for multibillion corporations and act like this is a "win" for anyone.

>>718676891

Not illegal and not suable. But any investor that sees them do that and still holds deserves what they get.

Their next trick where they split the company, load all the current shareholders and debts on one, and all the IP, tencent and the Gulmont brothers on the other, now that risks lawsuit.

Nigger please.

>>718687236
It's at the high end of estimates, but it's not unthinkable. They pulled all hands to work on it in the emergency period when they were about to get banned by Japan. It's part of the reason why they haven't released a single goddam game this year and don't have anything asside from anno and a siege update upcoming that is out this year.

>>718669392 (OP)

>Is wokeness more important than money to them?
The thing is, the way these companies get funded is by loans, and the people who give out the biggest loans have strict DEI guidelines, so they're getting more money to the make the game if they make it more woke. Their belief that people will buy whatever slop they put out is why they're fine taking a risk on their sales numbers dropping thanks to a black lead.
