Ubisoft Hypes Assassin's Creed Shadows

It's been a while 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 very well shape the future of the entire corporation.

Today, Ubisoft's official channel unveiled a new video dedicated to the game. While one might assume it's the launch trailer, it's actually labeled as a TV commercial, which raises some questions. The video itself is far from bad—it's smooth, cinematic, and visually impressive. However, the concern lies in Ubisoft's apparent strategy to push the game through traditional media. Uploading a TV ad to their YouTube channel might seem like a minor detail, but it doesn't exactly instill confidence in the upcoming release.

Speculation aside, the video effectively showcases the distinct gameplay and fighting styles of the two main protagonists. The depiction of Japan is stunning, yet 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 form a comprehensive opinion.
