It's been a while since we last discussed Ubisoft, but next Thursday marks the release of their highly anticipated game, Assassin's Creed Shadows. The success of this title could very well shape the future trajectory of the entire corporation.
Today, Ubisoft's official channel unveiled a new video dedicated to Assassin's Creed Shadows. While one might initially mistake it for the launch trailer, the video is actually labeled as a TV commercial, which sparks some curiosity.
The video itself is not the problem—it's smooth, cinematic, and visually striking. However, the concern lies in Ubisoft's apparent strategy of pushing the game more through traditional media channels. There's nothing inherently wrong with this approach, but the decision to upload a TV ad to their YouTube channel raises questions. It might seem like nitpicking, but this tactic doesn't exactly instill confidence in the upcoming release.
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 evaluate a game based on a one-minute cinematic. We'll have to wait until the release to see the full picture.
