It's been quite some time since we last discussed Ubisoft, and now, the spotlight is on their upcoming release, Assassin's Creed Shadows, set to launch next Thursday. The success of this game could very well shape the future trajectory of the entire corporation, making it a pivotal moment for Ubisoft.
Today, Ubisoft's official channel released a new video dedicated to the game. 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 issue—it's smooth, cinematic, and visually stunning. The concern lies in Ubisoft's strategy of pushing 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 unconventional. It might be nitpicking, but this choice doesn't exactly instill confidence in the game's release.
However, let's move past the speculation. The video effectively highlights the distinct gameplay and combat styles of the two main protagonists. The depiction of Japan is breathtaking, yet it's important to remember that you can't fully judge a game based on a one-minute cinematic. We'll have to wait until the release to get a comprehensive view of Assassin's Creed Shadows.
