Assassin’s Creed Odyssey exceeds franchise sales records for this generation

Assassin’s Creed Odyssey is apparently doing quite well for Ubisoft thus far with “strong sales” and some of the highest reviews of any release this season.  So far, so good.

Ubisoft did not share Assassin’s Creed Odyssey sales figures, although they claim “best launch-week performance” for the franchise for this generation, so there’s that.  We gave it quite a great review too, as you can see here as well.

Defy fate and check out a brand new review scores trailer, really!

We have robust content plans for Assassin?s Creed Odyssey that will keep players engaged and exploring the game?s beautiful and compelling world for a long time to come.?

Developed by Ubisoft Quebec in association with eight other Ubisoft studios, Assassin?s Creed Odyssey takes players on a heroic voyage through Ancient Greece amidst one of the deadliest conflicts in history, the Peloponnesian War. In a first for the franchise, players choose their hero, either Alexios or Kassandra, outcast Spartan mercenaries who will explore a beautiful living, systemic open world, where they will uncover the truth about their mysterious pasts and become legendary Greek heroes. The launch of Assassin?s Creed Odyssey is just the beginning; the live roadmap plan is the biggest and most ambitious in the franchise, deepening storytelling through its episodic structure. Season Pass owners will access two major storylines, Legacy of the First Blade and The Fate of Atlantis, with three episodes each and all players will receive the free story missions, The Lost Tales of Greece, along with recurring in-game events and access to Discovery Tour.
