Assassin's Creed III breaks Ubisoft's preorder records
Upcoming action title is French publisher's most preordered game ever, doubling reservation rates of Assassin's Creed: Revelations.
Assassin's Creed III ships next week with lofty expectations, but it is already breaking records. Ubisoft announced today that the new stealth-action game is the company's most preordered game in its history, surpassing previous record holder Assassin's Creed: Revelations.
What may have contributed to the uptick in reservations is that Assassin's Creed III will be available on four platforms (Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PC, and Wii U), whereas Revelations shipped for three (Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC).
Ubisoft also updated life-to-date sales for the Assassin's Creed series today. The franchise has now sold over 40 million copies worldwide, the company said, though no specificity was provided as to how those sales are distributed among the numerous games in the series.
Assassin's Creed III is due out for Xbox 360 and PS3 on October 30. A Wii U release is slated for November 18 day-and-date with the system and a PC launch will round out the bunch on November 20. For more on Assassin's Creed III, check out GameSpot's previous coverage.
