Assassin’s Creed Mirage achieves biggest launch for Ubisoft this generation

With the past few Assassin's Creed games eschewing the series’ traditional formula in favour of a more RPG-like open-world action adventure experience, many old-school fans of the franchise have been yearning for a new AC title which harkens back to the series’ roots. Ubisoft seems to have finally delivered just that with the recent release of Assassin’s Creed Mirage. So far, it seems to be working as AC Mirage has now achieved the biggest launch for any Ubisoft title this generation.

Making the announcement on Twitter, the AC team released a statement saying: “Assassin's Creed Mirage has been out for 6 days now, and we are thrilled by the love and positivity we have received over the last week. Thank YOU for joining us on this incredible journey that celebrates, honors and builds upon the 15-year legacy of the Assassin's Creed series. We could not have been happier that our back to the roots experience has been embraced by the community.”

They continued, “With the number of players being in line with past successful launches such as Assassin's Creed Origins and Assassin's Creed Odyssey, we are humbled by the positive reception. We are proud to also share that Assassin's Creed Mirage is the biggest New Gen launch in terms of units sales to date at Ubisoft (PS5, Xbox Series X-S).”

The team concluded by sharing some impressive stats pertaining to Mirage’s launch, such as the fact that 479 collective years have been spent parkouring the rooftops of Baghdad; players have done the iconic leap of faith 60 million times; and last but not least 1.2 million cats have been pet in-game,

With the early success of Assassin’s Creed Mirage, it will be interesting to see whether Ubisoft greenlights more classic AC-styled titles in the future – especially with the likes of Codename Red and Hexe already in development.
