The previous entry ushers in a sequel with strong sales.
BY MIKE MAHARDYUbisoft revived the Far Cry franchise with its third numbered entry in 2012, and has maintained momentum since.The company has sold "around 10 million copies" of Far Cry 3, Ubisoft said during an earnings call today. The open-world shooter, set on a jungle island inhabited by bandits and native tribes alike, released during the same holiday season as Halo 4 and Assassin's Creed III. It reimagined the formula of its numbered predecessor, and brought the series back into the limelight–– in three weeks, Far Cry 4 marks the franchise's first foray onto the new generation of consoles.
During the same earnings call today, Ubisoft said it expects the sequel to sell 6 million copies in its first year. The company reported higher-than-expected sales during the first half of its fiscal year, citing Watch Dogs as the major driving force for the increased revenue –- the open-world game sold-in 9 million copies; actual consumer sales weren't mentioned.
With Assassin's Creed Unity also around the corner, Ubisoft said it expects to have a very profitable third quarter as well.
