*********’s Creed Shadows Suffers Embarrassing Turnout in New Expo Showcase and It Shows Ubisoft Could Be in Trouble

*********’s Creed Shadows is knocking at the door. This upcoming action RPG title is going to be released on November 15, 2024. This game is going to be the fourteenth major installment of the long-hailed franchise.

There were high hopes that the game would have a blast at the recently concluded Japan Expo, which was held in Paris from July 11 to 14. However, the game was an absolute flop at the event.

At the recently held Japan Expo, there were a few people who were seen at the *********’s Creed Shadows booth. This was a huge disappointment for Ubisoft, as this event was thought to be one of the most viable marketing points for the game.

他は激混みなのに、アサシンクリードシャドウのブースはご覧の通り。椅子は休憩スポットに。フランス人も怒ってるんだろうか。

All the other booths were crowded; just this booth was almost vacant. The seats in this booth were even used as resting spots.

From former World of Warcraft Team Lead Mark Kern, aka Grumzz, we have also got some real ground reports of that event from Paris.

Just got a report from someone at Japan Expo.

staff are asking that anyone using the seats at the Assassins Creed: Shadows booth to turn around to face their screen.

People were using them as benches to watch the much more popular Nintendo booth across the way.

Nobody…

He has stated that Ubisoft officials asked the people who were sitting at the Shadows booth to look at their screens, as most of them were sitting there to get a better view of the much more popular Nintendo booth, which was across the way.

Fans became more frustrated as the company showed the same video they already posted to

despite claiming that it was “exclusive gameplay.”

No wonder fans were more keen on the Nintendo booth. To do some damage control, Ubisoft even offered bags of goodies to the visitors if they stayed till the very end.

What Was the Reason for This Disappointing Reception?

As a strategy for promoting the game at the Japan Expo, the official *********’s Creed France account assured that the booth at the expo would give its visitors an immersive experience. That’s why the company decorated the booth with a number of ********* cultural items to promote the game, as it was based on the feudal ******* of Japan.
