Ubisoft reported that Assassin’s Creed: Origins gained a following with players during the holiday quarter, pushing the French video game publisher to $889.4 million (€725.0 million) in sales for the third fiscal quarter ended December 31. CEO Yves Guillemot said in an analyst conference call today that the results exceeded Ubisoft’s own revised expectations of $858.8 million (€700.0 million) for the quarter.
Assassin’s Creed: Origins was the third best-selling game in the Europe and Middle East region in 2017, and average player time is expected to almost double that for Assassin’s Creed: Syndicate in 2015. Ubisoft took a year off from the annual release of Assassin’s Creed games to improve the quality and reboot the franchise.
