That's one million more units than Ubisoft sent to retail as of February (http://www.joystiq.com/2014/02/10/assassins-creed-4-ships-10-million-rocksmith-2014-hits-a-low-n/).
It's the latest in the publisher's successful series, which achieved 73 million in sales as of last month (http://www.joystiq.com/2014/04/21/assassins-creed-series-tops-73-million-in-sales/). Ubisoft's next rooftop-running, throat-slitting game isAssassin's Creed: Unity (http://www.joystiq.com/game/assassins-creed-unity), which was announced in March (http://www.joystiq.com/2014/03/21/assassins-creed-unity-announced/). The game takes place in Paris during the French Revolution of the 18th century, as was seeminglyforetold through a scene (http://www.joystiq.com/2014/03/29/assassins-creed-unity-setting-was-foretold-by-ac-brotherhood/) in Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood (http://www.joystiq.com/game/assassins-creed-brotherhood).
"We are extremely pleased that Assassin's Creed has become the fourth-biggest franchise in the industry," Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot said during the publisher's earnings call today, adding that the Assassin's Creed development team has been progressively growing the brand "into a regular 10 million-plus elite franchise."
