The Assassin's Creed franchise may be about to change in big ways due to some behind-the-scenes moves at Ubisoft concerning the series' future.

Assassin's Creed Shadows is a success, but does it possess the ability to save its embattled publisher, Ubisoft?

Worldwide, Shadows has reached more than three million players so far. Shadows had the second-highest day-one sales revenue for any Assassin's Creed game, only trailing Valhalla. Shadows did beat Valhalla by one measurement, though, setting a record for the most day-one digital revenue on the PlayStation Store for the Assassin's Creed franchise.
