The upcoming Ubisoft title, the Assassin's Creed Shadows, receives positive feedback regarding its pre-release orders from Ubisoft. The video game prepares to hit stores on March 20, 2025, while sparking major interest from fan communities and the industrial sector.

The current pre-order level for Assassin's Creed Shadows matches the financial results of Assassin's Creed Odyssey which stands as the franchise's second-biggest release according to Ubisoft's earnings report. The upward trend is important because Ubisoft has experienced recent difficulties with €301.8 million in net bookings, which decreased by 52% from the previous year.

The game Assassin's Creed Shadows presents its two main characters: Naoe, the shinobi assassin, and Yasuke, the samurai of African descent in feudal Japan. The game's fanbase asked for this setting for a long time, so early previews applauded its deep storytelling and outstanding interactive experience. According to Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot the two main characters remain essential to the plot while their gameplay methods support each other.

Development of the game faced two delays and questions about how characters would be depicted throughout production. The pre-order numbers indicate that customers expect a positive response when the game is released. The upcoming quarter will see Ubisoft leverage Assassin's Creed Shadows to achieve estimated net bookings of €1.9 billion within the fiscal year 2024-25.

Players can get the game on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, Amazon Luna, and Windows PC through multiple distribution channels. The broad distribution channels will expand its potential success rates in the coming months.
