Of course Ubisoft isn’t just selling one Assassin’s Creed game on release day, it is selling two, with Assassin’s Creed: Liberation on PlayStation Vita released simultaneously.
Assassin’s Creed III: Liberation was an interesting experiment for Ubisoft. Liberation, in some ways, was just like a console experience, but it came out on a handheld instead – the PlayStation Vita.
Thus far, Ubisoft seems relatively pleased with Liberation’s performance. Chief sales and marketing officer Geoffroy Sardin has said that the company is “super happy with the first results we have got on the Vita, it is the biggest launch for week one for 2012, and it’s the first Vita product for this end of the year.”
Sardin also hinted that main character Aveline could appear again in the future:
“It’s the first time we’ve proposed another experience on another format, but there are some links between both of the games. The consumers are aware that Aveline, the main character on the Vita format, could have a future in our history for the Assassin’s Creed brand, and the second thing is we wanted to bring a new experience using the features of the Vita. For now we are super happy with the first results we have got on the Vita, it is the biggest launch for week one for 2012, and it’s the first Vita product for this end of the year.”
Sardin also said the tactic “could give some ideas for another franchise, for sure.“
