Following Assassin?s Creed Valhalla?s reveal last week, Ubisoft began teasing plans to showcase a gameplay trailer during Inside Xbox. Across multiple twitter posts, Ubisoft and Microsoft emphasized that fans would see gameplay. However, once the trailer went live, it became clear Ubisoft should?ve set expectations accordingly. There?s an ongoing debate as to whether what was shown actually counts as gameplay. The disappointment of many AC fans is most evident in the trailer?s like to dislike ratio on YouTube. As of writing, the ratio reads as 19,000 likes to 32,000 dislikes for a video with over 760,000 views. Creative Director Ashraf Ismail recently addressed the backlash on Twitter.
See the Creative Director?s message to fans in the tweet linked below:
