Assassin’s Creed Shadows Voted PlayStation Players’ Choice for March 2025

Expert Verified By

Surpassed Titles Like Split Fiction!

Story Highlight
  • Assassin’s Creed was the top new release for PlayStation in March 2025.
  • The game faced minimal competition, with Split Fiction being its only major contender.
  • Assassin’s Creed Shadows has a bright future ahead with big plans from Ubisoft.

Despite a huge backlash from the public, Assassin’s Creed Shadows has been considered a success in Ubisoft’s books. The newest RPG broke multiple records for the franchise and reached 3 million players within just a week.

While numbers alone don’t guarantee a game’s success, public opinion also seems to be in favor of Assassin’s Creed Shadows. PlayStation players voted the RPG as their choice for March’s new releases, surpassing even critically acclaimed titles like Split Fiction.

Why it matters: Many doubted Ubisoft’s ability to make a great Assassin’s Creed game again. However, the mass appeal seems to be leaning in favor of Assassin’s Creed Shadows as a strong entry in the series.

Following February, March didn’t have many heavy hitters, with the competition just being between Assassin’s Creed Shadows and Split Fiction. However, Split Fiction’s perfect critic scores still couldn’t guarantee its victory over Assassin’s Creed Shadows.

Assassin’s Creed Shadows being March’s best new release for PlayStation is also surprising, considering how much its sales have lagged behind on the platform. Just a month after its release, the RPG didn’t even appear in the PlayStation’s top 171 sellers.

Claws Of Awaji Is Just The Start Of Ubisoft’s Plan For AC Shadows

The French publisher has big plans for the game now that they’re past its pressured release. The developer team of the game stated, “This is just the beginning” for Shadows, as Ubisoft plans to evolve the game in the long term.

Ubisoft is expected to release the first expansion for Assassin’s Creed Shadows, titled “Claws of Awaji,” soon. Claws of Awaji promises a new region and 10+ hours of new content with new weapons and will continue Naoe and Yasuke’s story after it was left on a cliffhanger with the main game’s ending.
