Ubisoft has released a short in-engine trailer for its upcoming AC game, Assassin’s Creed Shadows. Ubi claimed that this was a gameplay trailer but that’s as inaccurate as it can get. The trailer has mainly in-engine cut-scenes, with just a few seconds of gameplay.
Seriously, it’s laughable that the French company has listed this as a gameplay trailer. This is why I’ve decided to not include the game’s title in the headline. Because I’m not sure whether Ubi is aware of what the “gameplay” and “in-engine” terms mean.
Assassin’s Creed Shadows takes place in 16th-century Japan during the Azuchi-Momoyama era. In this game, you will live the intertwined stories of Naoe and Yasuke. Against the backdrop of the turbulent late Sengoku period, this duo will discover their common destiny as they usher in a new era for Japan.
The game promises to have spectacular castle towns, bustling ports, peaceful shrines, and pastoral landscapes. Ubisoft also claims that AC: Shadows will have unpredictable weather, changing seasons, and reactive environments.
It’s also worth noting that Assassin’s Creed Shadows will not require a mandatory internet connection at all times and that it will be playable in offline mode.
Ubisoft will hopefully share some proper gameplay footage later today, at the Ubisoft Forward 2024 event. So, stay tuned for more.
Assassin’s Creed Shadows will be released on November 15th.
Enjoy!
