Assassin's Creed Shadows: First Look Gameplay Trailer - Xbox Games Showcase 2024

Never pre-order anything but that goes double for Assassin's Creed

I hope they've gone further towards the old combat style and stealth gameplay. I never liked the new one of just being an 'assassin' by openly running through a fort and stabbing each enemy with spastic animations until their arbitrary and chonky healthbar depletes.

The game is set in Japan. Why did they set the tone using a Chinese Dizi flute? It would be like introducing assassins creed 3 with a didgeridoo.

Why not the shakuhachi?

Me: Mom can we have Ghost of Tsushima?

Mom: We have Ghost of Tsushima at home

Well damn. Looks like it's time to get back into AC. Will hold off for reviews of course.

This didn't even look like an Assassin's Creed game when I first saw the trailer during the showcase today. That's a good thing, btw. This almost feels like an actual fresh approach.

Hmm, I'm less skeptical of this game. I won't get it on launch though because these games benefit from plenty of time for post launch patches. This will be on I play when Ubisoft puts it on sale for like 25% or 50% off.
