Ubisoft has released a new trailer for Assassin’s Creed Shadows that focuses on all the tech PC features that it will be using. This trailer also gives us our first look at the game’s Ray Tracing effects (which will be RTGI and RT Reflections).
Assassin’s Creed Shadows will be powered by the latest version of the Anvil Engine. The game will have dynamic seasons and weather, aiming to change the landscape and your strategy. It will also have destructible environments, as well as dynamic wind and environmental particles.
On PC, players can expect support for DLSS 3.7, FSR 3.1 and XeSS 2 at launch. There will also be a built-in benchmark tool to test your PC. Plus, the game will support ultra-wide monitors.
From a technical viewpoint, I’m curious to see what this new AC game will bring to the table. For this title, Ubisoft has partnered with Intel. So, in theory, we can expect good CPU scaling across various CPUs.
Let’s also hope that the game won’t suffer from any stutters. All the previous AC games had traversal stutters. To its credit, Mirage did not have as many as Origins, Odyssey or Valhalla did.
Ubisoft will release Assassin’s Creed: Shadows on PC on March 20th. As we’ve already reported, the game will be also using the Denuvo anti-tamper tech. You can also find its official PC system requirements here.
Enjoy and stay tuned for more!

Who has one?
Just die already, it's taking ages to release ffs. Stock price is like 10 dollars for crying out loud.
This is just like apple selling their shtty devices catering to the rich and poor with different hard drives. I see no difference. BIG FK U UBISOFT!
Trees in full leaf during a cold, snowy winter… LMAO.
imagine not knowing about evergreens. Yes, some trees do keep their leaves all year, even in the snow, crazy, right? It's almost like nature doesn’t follow your personal logic. Mind-blowing!
There are trees that never lose their leaves bro, it's very common, you have so much to criticize in this trailer like how the blood looks cartoonish, the music is a horrible mix of hip-hop and Japanese traditional instruments, how they're promoting environmental destruction but it's only a couple of boxes and stuff that breaks in every other game, promoting multi-language as a feature while it should just be a mandatory option, and the fact they're proud AF of a standard particle system…
wow that actually looks really good. I wonder how much intel paid for the whole ubisoft partnership though.
All Intel is providing is help with proper threading on their CPUs and will likely help their older CPUs that also use the big-little core structure. Of course Intel is not going to say that because they want to sell their new CPUs
ac games really had boring lighting after ac unity .im so excited for this assassins game with rtgi .wow.this can look better than unity
Who the F is still excited for any AC game ? Especially being excited for its graphics ? The trailer is crystal clear, it doesn't look better than AC Unity and it won't look better even Jesus himself works on it
Who doesn't like forced RT Global Illuminati and upscaling from 480p to play as Suzuki Floyed and sheeeit
Caint wait for super power extreme realism lighting on Japan's first black samurai!!!!! So kawaii!!!! Can you imagine how realistic the shadows in his huge nostrils are?!?
What's with the racism you dirty brown paki?
Nah I'll watch Shogun again instead. At least those showrunners seemed to give a single f@^$ about the Japanese culture. This game was probably written by a bunch of fat lesbians who hate the Japanese people and want to replace it with their pseudo community made up of fake friends from astroturfed and manipulated social media.
Analysts say if this game flops it could drag down the whole company into bankruptcy, so fingers crossed and hope that no miracle will ever happen and the game will eventually flop as expected, they're beyond repairable and their old good games are still available in one way or another, so just die so we no longer have to endure any of your probably mediocre future projects
Actually if the company goes bankrupt all your Ubisoft games will stop working as most of them won't launch or work correctly without the Ubisoft Connect servers running especially everything that came after 2017 and Origins but even their older AC games like Unity and Black Flag had some sort of live service component
As i said "One way or another" 😉 Since i don't care about their Online games anyway, high seas can do the trick
Another open world trash, I'll pirate it for the destructible environment though.
POLICE POLICE catch him
The Pakistani police is too busy pirating 4k child p*rn.
Just die already, it's taking ages to release ffs. Stock price is like 10 dollars for crying out loud.
Btw there is again zero Yasuke in the trailer.
Reeks of desparation, because the pandering has gone south.
Ubisoft may well go down the drain this year if some miracle doesn't happen. Their debt continues to escalate and their credit rating has dropped to CCC which basically says to potential lenders that bankruptcy is imminent.
Executive mismanagement and outright arrogance has ruined Ubisoft's reputation with investors permanently I think. Can't really blame investors when they have seen their investment share price plummet 86% over the past 5 years.
Yasuke at:

1:19 – 1:22

Less prominent but his DEI a*s is still there.
You know the irony or hipocrisy of this DEI stuff in games?
They were supposed to deflect situations like this,not support it.
EDIT … f your censorship dsogaming
The graphics look good but they went a bit weird with the health/stamina balance system in this game…
Apparently stamina is tied to a "breathing" skill.. if you overdo the Fentanyl power-ups, your breath bar starts dropping and you can lose health quickly.
Hopefully someone will make a mod that fixes it.
I know it is trendy to hate on Ubisoft, but if we want to be honest the game looks stunning.
Ubi has some amazing art designers.
The only thing that pissed me off is that there is a preorder-only mission. Come on Ubi, enough with this sh*t
Pre-order missions will become available to all about 3 months after release probably as a Ubisoft Reward. For instance Mirage had a pre-order bonus mission called The Forty Thieves but that is now available for everyone.
With Valhalla it was The Way of the Berserker. Based on past games you really aren't missing anything of note just a 15 minute quest that doesn't really add much to the game.
It says that the bonus content is 10 hours at the end of the video unfortunatelly .
Let’s hope they will indeed rerelease it after a few months. I never buy Ubisoft games on release anyway, since they are getting heavily discounted later
It's not a trend it's perfectly justified :
– They're completely disconnected from their audience
– They're doing the exact same games over and over
– They're using young interns for most of their projects because they are cheap and don't need experience, just a big asset library, a ready-to-use engine and their devs are basically just playing Legos which turned all their craft into generic industrial model
– They turned off the servers for The Crew without even giving their customers an offline mode
– They managed to destroy every good game they had with questionnable support choices (For Honor, R6 Siege…)
– They're using every hated practices that exist ranging from P2W stuff to sh*tty preorder bonuses and DRMs (keep in mind they're the only big publisher who never removed Denuvo from their games not even once)
– They pay streamers and influencers to get good scores
– They turned their fan-favorite franchises into bland commercial titles
– They're simping for sh*t political movements and social justice while being ruled by ultra corporate sharks.
people don't hate for the sake of hating, they're hating what Ubi has become because they used to love them.
What is "Virtualized Geometry" specifically? All you see is that, well, the buildings are built in a wireframe mode. What would be the alternative, what is the improvement?
Nothing, they just try to bloat their trailer with useless stuff and make it look like some decent thing, just look at how they're promoting a basic particle and destruction system and Multilanguage support as if it's some genius invention
It's basically a Ubisoft version of Nanite which also falls under the category of virtualized geometry.
