A very nice Christmas present
Thanks to its precise launch, which enabled it to support the release of the PlayStation 5 and some Xbox Series X|S, Assassin’s Creed Valhalla gave himself all the means to achieve a very big blow for his publisher. Its historical setting has greatly helped it, at the same time, won the votes of players as Nordic mythology and Viking folklore have grown, in particular thanks to pop culture and certain games. Short, Assassin’s Creed Valhalla is a success for Ubisoft since the French publisher, in its comments on the 2021-2022 fiscal year, revealed colossal figures about it.
Within a year, the latest title in the Assassin’s Creed saga grossed over $1 billion, earning the game the franchise’s No., and the second in the entire Ubisoft catalog. As reported by the Axios site, information relayed by our colleagues from Eurogamer, this figure was reached last December. This success is also not trivial since Ubisoft has made it the most supported game in the series in terms of post-launch content.
On top of Asgard!
In fact, to get there, Ubisoft had to capitalize on a lot of additional content, whether free but above all paid.. In addition to the traditional seasonal festivals and other game modes adding a little spice to the icy adventures of Eivor, Assassin’s Creed Valhalla could count on a series of extensions like Wrath of the Druids or the Headquarters of Paris.
The French publisher had already, in the past, mentioned its desire to develop its offers in terms of micro-transactions in its games and Assassin’s Creed Valhalla was one of the spearheads when you look at the figures. On the strength of this success, the game has also had the right to a second year of follow-up which will notably sign the arrival of a new extension rich in content, Dawn of Ragnarök in which we will take control of the greatest of the gods of Asgard, Odin.
At any rate, Assassin’s Creed Valhalla has not finished its mad ascent, both in the hearts of players and in the financial results of the French publisher. As for the license itself, Ubisoft has not yet revealed any information but some leaks, about of a new episodedid it for him. This could also be released at the end of the year, or even at the beginning of 2023. For its part, Ubisoft did not wish to comment on this information following its last meeting, preferring to discuss the financial situation of the company and his thoughts on a possible takeover.
