Ubisoft pleased with performance of standalone digital title
Far Cry 3 spin-off Blood Dragon has sold over 500k digital copies across PC, PSN and XBLA.
UbisoftCEO Yves Guillemot provided the figure in an interview with Games Industry (http://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/2013-06-27-xbox-one-policy-changes-get-thumbs-up-from-Ubisoft), though didn’t mention how the units were split among platforms.
Guillemot did, however, mention that Far Cry 3 sales were boosted on PC based on Blood Dragon’s positive reception and that he was “very happy” with the performances of both titles.
The development team has already pitched a sequel (http://www.mcvuk.com/news/read/report-far-cry-3-blood-dragon-director-pitching-sequel/0115187) for the standalone effort, and Guillemot also said that the game’s critical and commercial success as a companion product is something that Ubisoft will be looking into further.
