Unfortunately, Guillemot didn't reveal whether the combined two-week sales of Syndicate were still lower than those of Unity over the same period. "Versus Unity, Syndicate was down in the first week but nicely outperformed it in its second week as it benefited from positive word of mouth."
"We seem to experience the same sales curve as ," he said. Most famously, the PC version suffered from some hilariously horrifying character model bugs, pictures of which quickly spread over the Internet.ĭespite the decreased week one sales, Ubisoft chief Yves Guillemot noted that Syndicate may yet beat Unity in overall sales. "Clearly in our first week we were impacted by what happened with Assassin's Creed Unity," he said.įollowing the release of Unity, a string of bugs and user complaints ranging from irritating glitches through to game-breaking bugs like characters falling through the ground, or co-op sessions crashing the game, were loudly voiced on the Internet. Speaking during an investor call last night, Martinez explained that the series had seen a noticeable dip in week one sales compared to last year. Launch sales of Assassin's Creed Syndicate were affected by the bug-ridden and poorly received Assassin's Creed Unity, according to Ubisoft exec Alain Martinez.
