Assassin's Creed Shadows, the latest entry in Ubisoft's series, is proving to be a huge hit with fans as the developer celebrates a major milestone.

Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed Shadows has crossed 2 million players, outpacing many of the games in the franchise, but not quite beating Valhalla.

Assassin’s Creed Shadows takes place in Japan circa 1579, near the end of what is known as the Sengoku period — 300 years before the advent of the incandescent light bulb. So it stands to reason that once the sun sets, the world that co-protagonists Naoe and Yasuke inhabit is going to get dark.
