- Assassin’s Creed Shadows is out in six months, and pre-orders went live a few days ago.
- Reports claim Ubisoft is quite happy with the pre-orders so far.
- Various editions are available for pre-order, including one as expensive as $130.
Assassin’s Creed Shadows had two years of anticipation behind it. The game was unveiled with an exciting teaser trailer in 2022, and Ubisoft made it official this week.
This entry in the long-running series has been announced with a cinematic trailer, reigniting the excitement for Assassin’s Creed. While some have found the game controversial, audiences appear to be mostly happy, with strong pre-orders.
Why it matters: The game is being seen as a major return to form for the franchise, with everything working out for Ubisoft so far.
Tom Henderson, one of the most reliable insiders in the gaming industry, recently tweeted about the sales of Assassin’s Creed Shadows. The insider states that while he doesn’t have the exact numbers of pre-orders, the situation looks promising for Ubisoft.
Assassin’s Creed Shadows pre-orders are looking very strong. No one in the know is disappointed with them.

This appears to be a major victory for Ubisoft, as there were doubts about the studio’s approach to Japan.
Following Ghost of Tsushima, games set in the region have exploded in popularity. Various teams have also created similar projects, leading to the sentiment that Ubisoft was too late to explore Japan.
However, it seems this delay has not hindered the game’s success. Assassin’s Creed has also one upped itself with each new release. Assassin’s Creed Vahalla stands as the biggest release so far, and it seems this pattern is now being repeated.
Assassin’s Creed Shadows is still a few months away from its release, giving the developers enough time for additional marketing. We suspect a massive boost to pre-orders after the gameplay reveal goes live next month.
Currently, Ubisoft is selling three editions of the game. The Ultimate Edition is the most expensive and costs $130, coming with a pre-order bonus, the season pass, early access, and more.
Assassin’s Creed Shadows parkous its way to PS5 and Xbox Series S|X on November 15 later this year. We encourage fans to keep an eye on upcoming showcases from PlayStation and Ubisoft for a full gameplay reveal and more details over the next weeks.
