Assassin’s Creed III is on track to become the highest pre-ordered game in Ubisoft’s history, the publisher has announced. The game has been available to pre-order in the US for three weeks, and is tracking ahead of any other game in the Assassin’s Creed series.

According to Ubisoft, Assassin’s Creed III has more than 10 times the US pre-order total Assassin’s Creed Revelations managed in three weeks (on track to surpass total pre-orders by June) and has already surpassed life-to-date US pre-orders of Brotherhood.

“On October 30th players will experience the biggest game launch in Ubisoft’s history with the highly anticipated release of Assassins Creed III,” said Tony Key, senior vice president of sales and marketing, Ubisoft. “With a development cycle of three years, Assassins Creed III is the true next-generation experience of the Assassins Creed brand. The production value of the game, combined with the biggest marketing commitment we’ve ever made, will make Assassins Creed III the highest-selling Assassin’s Creed game ever. Additionally, the new setting and hero makes this the perfect time to jump into the series for anyone that has not previously played an Assassin’s Creed game.”

Assassin’s Creed 3 and its Collector’s Editions are available to pre-order now for Xbox 360 and PS3. It will also be released on PC and Wii U.
