Ubisoft says the newest Assassin's Creed game has now surpassed three million players. Ubisoft is continuing to trumpet the success of Assassin's Creed Shadows, saying today that the game has now surpassed three million players a week after its release.

It’s almost worth buying a new Mac to enjoy Shadow’s state-of-the-art graphics. But, graphics aside, Shadows can also stand on its own two feet as an action-packed game, offering satisfying and varied combat, and the ability to explore the world of feudal Japan.

Ubisoft has teamed up with the Lofi Girl YouTube channel to celebrate Assassin’s Creed Shadows’ launch to deliver its most meditative collab yet.

In Assassin’s Creed Shadows, samurai weapons range from massive clubs to sleek naginatas. While you could combine a heavy melee weapon with a lighter one, consider using one of Yasuke’s ranged weapons too; a well-aimed shot will certainly start the battle in your favor. Here’s a list of the best weapons for Yasuke.

It's been reported that Ubisoft is now preparing to release a patch for Assassins Creed Shadows to provide PSSR support. But not all fans are sure they want it. Ubisoft told Eurogamer, that it didn’t implement PSSR support in Assassin’s Creed Shadows at launch as it got better results from its own proprietary upscaler.

Ubisoft shares surged on Friday after the French video game publisher announced a deal to spin out some of its best-selling franchises.

You may remember that Ghost of Tsushima ended up being a blockbuster in Japan for Sony and Sucker Punch — but it doesn't look like Shadows is going to enjoy anything close to that level of success. A shame, perhaps, given that Japanese reviews have been positive.
