It's been a while since we last discussed Ubisoft, hasn't it? Well, next Thursday, the company is set to release Assassin's Creed Shadows, and the success of this game 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 think this is the launch trailer, but it's labeled as a TV commercial, which raises some questions. The video isn't bad—it's smooth, cinematic, and visually impressive. However, the concern lies in Ubisoft's approach to marketing the game more through traditional media. While there's nothing inherently wrong with that, uploading a TV ad to Ubisoft's YouTube channel feels a bit off. Maybe this is nitpicking, but this approach doesn't exactly inspire confidence in the release.

That said, let's move beyond speculation. The video effectively showcases the differences in gameplay and fighting styles between 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.
