Launch sales of Assassin's Creed Syndicate were affected by the bug-ridden, and poorly received Assassin's Creed Unity, according to Ubisoft exec Alain Martinez. Speaking during an investor call last night, Martinez explained that the series had seen a noticeable dip in week one sales compared to last year.
"Clearly in our first week we were impacted by what happened with Assassin's Creed Unity," he said.
Following the release of Unity, a string of bugs and user complaints ranging from irritating glitches through to game-breaking bugs like characters falling through the ground, or co-op sessions crashing the game, were loudly voiced on the Internet. Most famously, the PC version suffered from some hilariously horrifying character model bugs, pictures of which quickly spread over the Internet.
