A message posted by the Assassin’s Creed Shadows development team has thanked fans of the franchise for “the sheer amount of love and positivity” received since the game’s long-awaited launch last week, which, the team said, had been “incredibly heartwarming”.
Assassin’s Creed Shadows had a particularly rocky road to release, beset by delays and numerous online controversies, and an uncertain future for publisher Ubisoft in general.
But, four days and two million players later – the end result appears to be a game the Assassin’s Creed fanbase has taken to warmly, with numerous positive threads on the Assassin’s Creed reddit, and a Very Positive user rating on Steam from those who have played.
“This weekend, many of us on the Dev Team spent time reading your reactions across the Assassin’s Creed subreddit – and we just want to say thank you,” a message from the Ubisoft Quebec development team stated. “The sheer amount of love and positivity we’ve received has been incredibly heartwarming.”
