With 70 million copies sold to date, Assassin’s Creed is by far Ubisoft’s most successful franchise, but at number two Just Dance is still more popular than Splinter Cell, Far Cry, and others.
The new numbers were uncovered by Kotaku columnist Superannuation, who noticed Ubisoft updated the Facts & Figures page on its website. With 48 million copies sold, Just Dance is way behind Assassin’s Creed, but also ahead of Splinter Cell’s 30 million, Rainbow Six’s 26 million, and Ghost Recon’s 25 million. You may also be shocked to find out that the Petz franchise has reached 24 million, which is more that Far Cry’s 18 million.
Here’s the full list of Ubisoft’s best selling franchises:
Assassin's Creed: 73 million
Just Dance: 48 million
Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: 30 million
Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: 26 million
Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: 25 million
Petz: 24 million
Rayman: 25 million
Imagine: 21 million
Prince of Persia: 20 million
Driver: 19 million
Far Cry: 18 million
Rayman Raving Rabbids: 14 million
The Settlers: 10 million
The Experience: 9 million
Anno: 5 million
Your Shape: 3 million
The page also tells us that there are more than 9,200 Ubisoft team members worldwide, 7,800 of which are dedicated to production. Electronic Arts’ last reported 9,370 employees at the end of 2013, and because of recentlayoffsat the company, there is now a small chance that Ubisoft is bigger than EA in terms of headcount.
Launching this holiday, the next game in the Assassin’s Creed franchise will be Assassin’s Creed Unity, which is set during the French Revolution.
