Ubisoft Hypes Assassin's Creed Shadows

It's been some time since we last discussed Ubisoft, and with the imminent release of Assassin's Creed Shadows next Thursday, the stakes are high. The success of this game could significantly impact the future trajectory of the entire corporation.

Today, Ubisoft's official channel released a new video dedicated to Assassin's Creed Shadows. While you might expect this to be the launch trailer, it's labeled as a TV commercial, which has sparked some curiosity.

The video itself isn't bad at all; it's smooth, cinematic, and visually striking. However, the choice to upload a TV ad to Ubisoft's YouTube channel raises questions. While there's nothing wrong with utilizing traditional media for promotion, this approach might not inspire the most confidence in the game's 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, but it's important to remember that a one-minute cinematic can't fully represent the entire game. We'll have to wait until the release to see the full picture.
