Ubisoft Hypes Assassin's Creed Shadows Release

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 are high. The success of this game could very well shape the future of the entire corporation.

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 questions.

The video itself isn't bad; in fact, it's smooth, cinematic, and visually impressive. However, the concern arises from Ubisoft's apparent focus on traditional media. While there's nothing inherently wrong with that approach, uploading a TV ad to their YouTube channel feels a bit off. This might seem like nitpicking, but it doesn't exactly inspire confidence in the upcoming release.

Setting speculation aside, the video effectively showcases the distinct gameplay and fighting styles of the two main protagonists. The depiction of Japan is stunning, but it's important to remember that you can't judge an entire game based on a one-minute cinematic. We'll have to wait until the release to get the full picture.
