Assassin’s Creed Shadow Becomes Top Wishlisted Game on Epic Games

Expert Verified By

Ranked At 122nd Place On Steam!

Story Highlight
  • Assasin’s Creed Shadows was delayed due to Ubisoft’s back-to-back failures. 
  • The game was also criticized on an extreme level, especially by the Japanese fandom. 
  • Despite the issues, AC Shadows has become the top wishlisted title on Epic Games but is way below on Steam. 

Assassin’s Creed Shadows was one of the most talked about titles of 2024. While the game still hasn’t been released, it was perhaps the most controversial game last year, and nothing is stopping it from this year’s, too. 

However, there is always a dark horse waiting every year to take up the position, so shadows might be in the safe spot. AC Shadows has been under massive heat ever since more content to the fandom was revealed last year. 

Despite the controversy, the title is currently the top wishlisted game on Epic Games

Why it matters: The game has been massively criticized for many reasons, the main one relating to Yasuke. This is why it is surprising to see it being the top wishlisted title on the platform. 

Top Wishlists On Epic Games
Assassin’s Creed Shadows, One of The Most Controversial Games, Is Currently The Most Wishlisted Title on Epic

As you can see in the image above, AC Shadows is the most wishilsted title, leaving behind games like Mini Royale, 33 Immortals, and even Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. This might not be that surprising to some, given how massive Assassin’s Creed fandom is, but still, due to the controversy, many might not have expected to perform well.

However, Epic Games isn’t the best platform when it comes to PC gaming, so this doesn’t indicate the sales will be strong. Steam is considered the best gaming platform on PC, and Shadows is currently ranked 122 in the Top Wishlists category.  

There is still over a month before the release, so it is likely to climb through the ranks. For those who are unaware, Assassin’s Creed Shadow was supposed to be released last year in November, but due to the massive failure of Star Wars Outlaws, Ubisoft delayed the game so it could deliver its fandom the best experience.

It should be noted that a thoroughly conducted report indicated that Ubisoft is likely to go bankrupt in 2025. So, if its upcoming Assassin’s Creed title fails to generate some huge profit, it will hit rock bottom
