In recent months, "Assassin's Creed: Shadow" has been controversial because Ubisoft's method of showing Japanese history and culture has caused dissatisfaction among many Japanese players, resulting in many people directly refusing to buy the game.However, for Ubisoft, this seems to be a minor problem, as the game has shown signs of success on Amazon Japan.

According to the sales of PS5 games on Amazon Japan, "Assassin's Creed" has surpassed "Double Shadow" and is second only to "Monster Hunter: Wilderness".

On Steam, Assassin's Creed: Shadow is already one of the best-selling games on Steam.According to SteamDB, filtering out the free game section, Assassin's Creed Shadow is currently ranked 8th.

Ubisoft had been very confident about the progress of pre-orders before, and these results further consolidated that confidence.Now it seems that Assassin's Creed: Shadows will likely reach the level of the series' masterpieces even if it doesn't become the commercial milestone success Ubisoft currently needs.
