0It’s an open, open, open, open world as Assassin’s Creed and Middle-earth dominate.
Middle-earth: Shadow of War stood tallest in a month of big games, according to industry-tracking firm The NPD Group. Assassin’s Creed: Origins was just behind it.
Shadow of War, the open-world fantasy adventure, debuted September 28, and it went on to dominate physical and digital game sales in the United States in October. Shadow of War was also able to turn the affection for Shadow of Mordor into substantial growth for the franchise.
“Middle Earth: Shadow of War was October’s best-selling game overall, while also taking the top spot on both the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 platforms,” NPD analyst Mat Piscatella said. “Sales grew over 20 percent when compared to the launch month of the previous release in the franchise, Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor, which debuted in September 2014.”
