Assassin’s Creed Valhalla tops first week sales for the franchise

Ubisoft’s cross generation new Assassin’s Creed title is apparently doing quite well for itself so far.

Scoring some impressive review scores (including our right here) out of the gate, Assassin’s Creed Valhalla has broken first week records for the console and PC versions as compared to other previous releases titles in the series.

Check out the details below.

Today, Ubisoft announced strong early sales for Assassin?s Creed Valhalla, one of the highest rated games this season1. Building on favorable review scores and early player response, Assassin?s Creed Valhalla has sold through more units in its first week than any other Assassin?s Creed game sold during the same period. Assassin?s Creed Valhalla also has become the top-selling Ubisoft PC launch ever, driven by all-time record Ubisoft Store sales performance. With strong feedback from players on next-gen consoles, Assassin?s Creed Valhalla is delivering on its promise to make the most of the new hardware.

?We are truly delighted by the enthusiastic response from players and want to thank the fans for their incredible support. Delivering this game amid a global pandemic was a true tour de force by our teams and it?s fantastic to see players enjoying the game so much,? said Julien Laferri?re, producer on Assassin?s Creed Valhalla. ?Launch is only the beginning and we have robust content plans for Assassin?s Creed Valhalla that will keep players immersed in their epic Viking saga for a long time to come.?

Players are already well into their adventure in Assassin?s Creed Valhalla, covering more than 4 million kilometers, building their settlements (over 55 million buildings already unlocked since launch) and becoming fully immersed in the Norse and Saxon culture through the Orlog dice games (over 3.5 million games of Orlog have been won so far) or even enjoying the drinking and flyting contests (over 1.8 million players have won at least one drinking game since launch).

With development led by Ubisoft Montreal2, Assassin?s Creed Valhalla offers players the captivating experience of playing as Eivor, a legendary Viking warrior, driven from Norway by endless wars and dwindling resources in ninth century AD. Players can relive the ruthless fighting style of Viking warriors with a revamped dual-wielding combat system and experience new gameplay features such as raids, assaults, and the settlement, as well as a revamped progression and gear upgrade system. Political alliances, combat decisions and dialogue choices can influence the world of Assassin?s Creed Valhalla, so players must choose wisely to protect their clan?s home and their future.

Assassin?s Creed Valhalla is available on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One consoles, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, the Epic Games Store and Ubisoft Store on Windows PC, as well as on Stadia, Amazon Luna and Ubisoft?s subscription service, Ubisoft+.
