As video game development costs continue to reach new peaks, Ubisoft has confirmed the massive budget behind Assassin's Creed Shadows, and the figure is over nine digits high.
As fans who have rolled credits will tell you, there were a lot of people involved in bringing Assassin's Creed Shadows. In fact, the credits roll on for two hours in total. With that in mind, was there any doubt that Shadows cost a fortune?

If there was doubt, it had just been put to rest. A recently released financial call —featuring the bigwigs at Ubisoft and led by CEO Yves Guillemot— has confirmed what fans already knew, that Assassin's Creed Shadows cost over 100 million euros to wrap development.
