In a press release, producer Julien Laferriere stated that, “We are truly delighted by the enthusiastic response from players and want to thank the fans for their incredible support.

Launch is only the beginning and we have robust content plans for Assassin’s Creed Valhalla that will keep players immersed in their epic Viking saga for a long time to come.”

A couple of interesting stats from players were also revealed, like how they had travel over four million kilometers till now. Over 55 million buildings had been unlocked in the settlement while over 3.5 million games of Orlog were won thus far. In terms of sales numbers, it’s still too early for the majority of outlets.
