Interesting considering "record engagement." I can't imagine that was just a lie, was it?

It has an 8 hour free trial on pc so i imagine a ton of people tried it out. Engagement doesn’t have to equal enjoyment after all

On point, it had a demo free to play before release and alot of people tried it out. Problem is it only has 8hrs worth of content.

It's just the game that had more players check it out and get disappointed than any previous Ubisoft game.

Maybe it was record low if they didn't specify which kind of record.

My interpretation is that it sold poorly, but that among the people who did buy it it's got high retention.

To be fair, a record low is still record engagement
