The Assassin’s Creed franchise has been around for a while, making their debut years ago. Over the years, the games in the franchise have brought characters like Altair, Ezio, and more to life. The stories of these fictional characters helped the franchise gain a formidable foothold in the industry, which has now been further amped by the recent release in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla.
The franchise’s latest venture into the world of Vikings has produced astronomical sales that even the developers didn’t anticipate.

With an enhanced gameplay experience, we released last week Discovery Tour: Viking Age, which the BBC praised as ‘an interactive and historically accurate way to explore history’. In less than 12 months, Assassin’s Creed Valhalla is already the second-largest profit-generating game in Ubisoft’s history, reflecting the remarkable strength and value of the franchise.”
