Assassin's Creed Shadows PS5 PlayStation

Assassin's Creed Shadows is out in the wild, and by all indications, it appears to be the win Ubisoft so desperately needs right now. Whether it can firm up the larger company remains to be seen, but the developers themselves have thanked fans for the "sheer amount of love and positivity we've received".

In a thank you post from the entire dev team posted to the game's official subbreddit, it seems the response from the community has been overwhelmingly positive, invigorating, even:

"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... The entire Dev Team has been reading your posts — the celebrations, the feedback, the theories — and it’s been inspiring. It fuels us. And it helps us keep improving. Thank you for being part of this journey with us. This is just the beginning for Shadows."

On launch day, we noted that the game had accrued over 3000 user reviews and a Very Positive review rating on Steam, which is no small feat. At the time of writing, that number is over 9000 (heh) and remains Very Positive; it's clear Ubisoft has managed to appease the players with this one.
