Assaassin’s Creed III, due for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC on October 30 in North America, is on track to breaking a company pre-order record after only three weeks of availability.
Reserves for the title have reached higher “than any previous Assassin’s Creed game in the same time period.” It currently has ten times as many pre-orders that Assassin’s Creed: Revelations had in the same time period, and has already surpassed Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood‘s life-to-date U.S pre-order total. It is currently “on track” to becoming the highest pre-ordered game in the company’s history, as well as matching Revelations‘s life-to-date sales by E3 in June.
“On October 30th players will experience the biggest game launch in Ubisoft’s history with the highly anticipated release of Assassins Creed III,” said Tony Key, senior vice president of sales and marketing, Ubisoft. “With a development cycle of three years, Assassins Creed III is the true next-generation experience of the Assassins Creed brand. The production value of the game, combined with the biggest marketing commitment we’ve ever made, will make Assassins Creed III the highest-selling Assassin’s Creed game ever. Additionally, the new setting and hero makes this the perfect time to jump into the series for anyone that has not previously played an Assassin’s Creed game.”
