Overview
- The game will launch simultaneously on Thursday, July 9, for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and Windows PC with global timed releases tied to SteamDB schedules.
- Industry analyst data shows roughly 300,000 Steam pre-orders worth about $14 million in gross revenue, and those pre-sales outpaced Assassin’s Creed Shadows in the same pre-release window.
- Early reviews praise the remake’s upgraded graphics, modernized combat and mission quality‑of‑life fixes while several critics say the project adds limited new narrative and gameplay beyond polish.
- Ubisoft+ Premium subscribers get day‑one access to the Deluxe Edition, while the title is not included on PlayStation Plus or Xbox Game Pass at launch.
- The release is a lower‑risk commercial play for Ubisoft that leans on nostalgia and stronger PC demand, and its performance could influence the studio’s strategy for future remakes and resource allocation.
