The development team of Assassin’s Creed Shadows at Ubisoft has released a heartfelt statement after the game’s successful launch. In a Reddit post, the studio said that the team behind the game spent the launch week checking out fans’ reactions. And the team has felt the love and warm welcome of its players.
“We just want to say thank you. The sheer amount of love and positivity we’ve received has been incredibly heartwarming,” Ubisoft said. “Seeing your excitement, your thoughtful reactions, and your joy has meant the world to us. After years of hard work, there’s nothing more rewarding than watching the community connect with what we’ve created.”

And it helps us keep improving,” Ubisoft said. “Thank you for being part of this journey with us. This is just the beginning for Shadows, and we’re thrilled to see the game evolve with you by our side.”

“I’m an old lady gamer (62 now, gaming since I was 28) who fell in love with AC many moons ago,” WaywardJake wrote. “Shadows is brilliant. I’m so very proud of you all. Thank you from the bottom of my wrinkly old heart. xx”
