It's been a while since we last discussed Ubisoft, hasn't it? Well, next Thursday marks the release of Assassin's Creed Shadows, and the success of this title could very well shape the future of the entire corporation.
Today, Ubisoft's official channel unveiled a new video dedicated to the game. You might think it's the launch trailer, but it's actually labeled as a TV commercial, which raises some eyebrows. The video itself isn't the problem—it's smooth, cinematic, and visually impressive. The concern lies in Ubisoft's apparent focus on traditional media. There's nothing inherently wrong with this approach, but uploading a TV ad to their YouTube channel feels a bit off. While this might seem like nitpicking, it 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 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.
