Ubisoft Asia General Manager Steve Miller has said that Assassin’s Creed Odyssey may well be the most successful Assassin's Creed ever in Japan.
In an interview with DualShockers, Miller said, 'Assassin’s Creed has a core following in Japan, and it is one of the most successful Western series in Japan.'
Ubisoft has made considerable efforts to maintain a strong standing in the Japanese market, as Miller explained: 'Ubisoft still has room to grow in Japan as well as in other countries in this region. It makes sense for Ubisoft to invest in all the markets of Asia to increase market share and to establish our brands.'
Despite this puch, the Assassin’s Creed games are, as Miller says, appreciated by a core following. But he then went on to say that he believes Odyssey's RPG elements will set it apart from previous series and break out into a wider audience.
'At the same time, Odyssey is more RPG-like than any previous Assassin’s Creed,' said Miller, 'so we think the appeal of this game will reach beyond the core fans and will be very interesting for RPG fans, which we know there are many of in Japan.'
In other recent Assassin's Creed news, the game's director has said that he wants players to have more gender choice in future Assassin's Creed games.
