Assassin’s Creed Valhalla Creative Director Promises ‘In-Depth Gameplay’ After Lacklustre Reveal
It’s coming, eventually
by Liam Croft 8 hours agoIn the short time since Microsoft’s Inside Xbox third-party digital event, both the team in green and Ubisoft have been heavily criticized for their use of the word “gameplay”. The Xbox Series X manufacturer promised that it would debut footage of Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, and while it technically did, what we got didn’t live up to even our tempered expectations. The 71-second trailer featured vague shots of the game and cutscenes that most likely don’t represent the final product.
It was a major disappointment, but at least the cross-gen title’s creative director has quickly sought to temper the flames. Ashraf Ismail took to Twitter to promise that “in-depth gameplay” and lots more information is coming.
When that proper look at gameplay will arrive we still don’t know, with Ubisoft yet to confirm a digital showcase of its own at the time of writing. Until then, we’ll have to make do with Assassin’s Creed Valhalla’s all too brief reveal from earlier today. If anything, this has to be a lesson to developers to properly describe what you’re about to show fans. For better or worse, the gaming community can cut through the crap at a record pace.
How do you feel about Assassin’s Creed Valhalla’s gameplay reveal? Were you expecting more? Let us know in the comments below.
