Assassin’s Creed Shadows may be shaping up to be the hit Ubisoft needed. On social media, the Assassin’s Creed team announced that the game, which was released on Thursday, has so far drawn in two million players.

Assassin's Creed Shadows has already reached 2 million players, beating out Origins and Odyssey but not Valhalla.

Ubisoft has a lot riding on "Assassin's Creed Shadows" as the company faces an uncertain future after several flops and misfires. The first-person competitive shooter "XDefiant" and the open-world sailing adventure "Skull and Bones" failed to take off while "Star Wars Outlaws" didn't sell as well as predicted.
