It's been a while since we last discussed Ubisoft, hasn't it? Next Thursday marks the release of Assassin's Creed Shadows, a title that could very well shape the future of the entire corporation.
Today, Ubisoft’s official channel released a new video dedicated to the game. You might expect this to be 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 striking. The concern lies in Ubisoft's strategy of pushing the game through traditional media. While there's nothing inherently wrong with this approach, uploading a TV ad to their YouTube channel seems a bit off. It might be nitpicking, but this method doesn't exactly inspire confidence in the game's release.
Speculation aside, the video effectively highlights the distinct gameplay and combat styles of the two main protagonists. The setting of Japan is beautifully rendered, but it's important to remember that you can't judge the entire game based on a one-minute cinematic. We'll have to wait for the release to get the full picture.
