Ubisoft Hypes Assassin's Creed Shadows, But…

It's been quite some time since we last discussed Ubisoft, and now, with the upcoming release of Assassin's Creed Shadows next Thursday, the stakes couldn't be higher. The success of this game is poised to significantly influence the future trajectory of the entire corporation.

Today, Ubisoft's official channel unveiled a new video dedicated to Assassin's Creed Shadows. While you might anticipate this to be the launch trailer, it's intriguingly labeled as a TV commercial, which sparks curiosity and questions.

The video itself is far from disappointing—it's smooth, cinematic, and visually stunning. However, the concern arises from Ubisoft's apparent strategy to push the game through traditional media channels. While there's nothing inherently wrong with this approach, the decision to upload a TV ad to their YouTube channel raises eyebrows. It might seem like nitpicking, but this tactic doesn't necessarily instill confidence in the upcoming release.

Setting speculation aside, the video effectively highlights the distinct gameplay and combat styles of the game's two main protagonists. The depiction of Japan is breathtaking, yet it's crucial to remember that a one-minute cinematic can't fully represent the entire gaming experience. We'll have to wait until the release to form a comprehensive opinion.
