It's been quite some time since we last discussed Ubisoft, hasn't it? Next Thursday marks the release of their highly anticipated game, Assassin's Creed Shadows. The success of this title could be pivotal for the future of the entire corporation.
Today, Ubisoft’s official channel unveiled a new video focused on the game. You might assume it's the launch trailer, but intriguingly, it's labeled as a TV commercial, which sparks some curiosity.
The video itself isn't the problem; it's smooth, cinematic, and visually stunning. The concern arises from Ubisoft's apparent strategy to promote the game more through traditional media channels. While there's nothing wrong with this approach per se, uploading a TV ad to their YouTube channel raises questions. Some might see this as nitpicking, but such a move doesn't necessarily instill confidence in the upcoming release.
However, let's set aside 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 assess a game from a one-minute cinematic. We'll have to wait until the release to form a complete opinion.
