It's been a while since we last discussed Ubisoft, but next Thursday marks a significant moment for the company with the release of Assassin's Creed Shadows. The success of this game could very well shape the future of Ubisoft as a whole.
Today, Ubisoft’s official channel released a new video dedicated to the game. You might think this is the launch trailer, but it's actually labeled as a TV commercial, which raises some eyebrows. It's not that the video is substandard—it's smooth, cinematic, and visually striking. However, Ubisoft's choice to push the game through traditional media and upload a TV ad to their YouTube channel is puzzling. While there's nothing inherently wrong with this approach, it doesn't exactly instill confidence in the upcoming release.
Setting speculation aside, 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 see the full picture.
