Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla pushed the franchise to record revenues

Ubisoft had what it says is its best quarter ever, according to its most recent financial report. And the publisher owes a lot of that success to Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla. The open-world Viking adventure was one of the breakout sales hits on the next-gen PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S hardware. And that fueled the franchise to all-time highs.

“[Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla] delivered record sales and ranked, with Watch Dogs: Legion, among the top-four best sellers on the new generation consoles,” Ubisoft chief financial officer Frederick Duguet said. “Our back-catalog also turned in a remarkable performance, with record momentum for our Assassin’s Creed titles, solid growth of the Far Cry franchise, and strong increase in engagement and revenues for the The Crew brand and our Free-to-Play game Brawlhalla.”
