Assassin's Creed Mirage is biggest new-gen launch for Ubisoft to date unit sales wise

Good results, but it also makes sense when comparing to how many systems were out for Valhalla's launch.
Fair, although the game is only available on Ubisoft+, which I don't think it's very popular.
Immortals , Watch Dogs Legion and Far Cry 6
Good. Mirage is an actually fantastic game and a great palate cleanser after Origins, Odyssey and Valhalla (especially Valhalla). I'm hoping that they learn from it with Hexe.
Hopefully this was a big enough success to at least give this formula another run on this lower budget model. I loved how compact the game was. Beat the whole thing and got all the achievements in like 40 hours.
The key is players are in line with Origins and Odyssey, because there was no way this was going to get anywhere near Valhalla.
First one I passed on since the bad, glitchy launch of Unity. The desert setting isn't that appealing to me after Origins and the promise of going back to basics didn't excite me, I have all the old ones.
I think there are just a ton of people who play AC games that aren't typical "gamers" that post online about games. My wife plays basically just 2 game series. Tomb Raider games and Assassins Creed games. lol Not sure why but she doesnt really play anything other than these for the most part. So she bought Mirage right away.
To be fair, the game was also dialed back somewhat in scale, so it probably doesn't have to move quite as many units.
Also good news to see over a million virtual street cats being pet. We gotta pump those numbers up baby.

AC fans returning after not liking the series' pseudo-RPG sandbox direction probably account for some of the sales momentum. That's what got me interested after not playing Origins, Odyssey or Valhalla.
Really? How? It literally has everything going for it lol.
- it's shorter than the last 3 games
- it plays closer to the original games
- it's $50
- Hasn't been a new AC in 3 years
Hoping that the same though, that they gear more towards classic AC moving forward.
There has not been an AC game that bombed - even Syndicate sold well overall, just down from its predecessor.
This was coming off the most successful game in Ubi history, how did you think that was going to happen?
To us? No, we have no reason to care about sales at all. But as long as Ubi considers this a success, then we might get more games like this. Which is a win
Valhalla made as much as 42% of Ubisoft's earnings across the 13 months after the game's release, while its good news for us this game is doing well, there's no way they're dropping the big RPGs. One can hope.
First time enjoying an Assassins Creed in a decade. Please make more like this... I hate the huge RPG ones.
