Ubisoft (UBSFY) announced that Assassin’s Creed Shadows reached 1 million players on release, but that might not be the win investors hoped

Assassin's Creed Shadows' version of Japan is extremely pretty. From the minutiae of its temples and terraced paddy fields to the sweeping vistas of its forests, seas, and mountains, it's a contender for one of the prettiest open-world games in years. The trouble is, you'll have to do some legwork before you get to enjoy it properly.

Ubisoft, the once untouchable giant, has suffered a major hit to their reputation after several big games flopped and one dev has admitted the stakes for their next are very high.
