It's been a while since we last discussed Ubisoft, and with the upcoming release of Assassin's Creed Shadows next Thursday, the stakes are high. The success of this game could be pivotal for the future of the entire corporation.
Today, Ubisoft's official channel released a new video dedicated to Assassin's Creed Shadows. You might expect this to be the launch trailer, but it's labeled as a TV commercial, which raises some eyebrows. The video itself isn't the problem—it's smooth, cinematic, and visually impressive. The concern lies in Ubisoft's apparent strategy to push the game through traditional media. While there's nothing inherently wrong with this approach, uploading a TV ad to their YouTube channel seems a bit out of place. This might be nitpicking, but it doesn't exactly instill confidence in the game's release.
However, let's set aside the speculation. The video effectively showcases the distinct gameplay and fighting styles of the two main protagonists. The depiction of Japan is stunning, yet it's important to remember that you can't judge an entire game based on a one-minute cinematic. We'll have to wait for the release to get the full picture.
