Assassin's Creed-serien har siden Altaïr tog den ikoniske kappe på i 2007 været Ubisofts centrale franchise, og i forbindelse med lanceringen af Assassin's Creed Valhalla meddelte Ubisoft, at serien har solgt over 155 millioner eksemplarer i alt.
Og succesen er ikke ligefrem aftaget i den seneste tid, for i forbindelse med præsentationen af deres seneste årsregnskab kunne Ubisoft ifølge VCG berette, at serien i deres seneste regnskabsår havde omsat for 50% mere end i deres hidtidige bedste periode, som løb fra april 2012 til marts 2013.
"What we see with Assassin's Creed is that we have a fantastic recipe and that's why we decided to expand the post-launch programme to make it the biggest, longest, strongest that we have ever had on the franchise," fortalte Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot sine investorer. "We are really going for a great transformation and building on the RPG recipe, and on strong playtime, so that's what we see for the franchise as a focus in the short-term, notably in fiscal 22 and beyond, but also we are building a very strong rung-up for the next five years for that brand."
Netop Ubisofts post-launch program forsætter inden længe med lanceringen af Assassins' Creed Valhalla: Wrath of the Druids, der udkommer i morgen, d. 13. maj.
