After years of trending toward bombastic action, Shadows points toward a future where Assassin’s Creed continues to live up to its name — and hopefully creates scenarios to make players feel like the titular leads, rather than god-like warriors.

Assassin’s Creed Shadows has seen over 3 million players in the week since launch, Ubisoft has announced. But there's still no sales figure.

Much to Shadow's credit, reaching 3 million players in such a short span is no small feat. This proves that while the controversy surrounding the recent game might have cost Ubisoft some respect, in contrast, it helped pique an interest in players to check what all the fuss was about.
