Assassin’s Creed Shadows Joins Yankees’ Torpedo Bat Craze

Video games such as Assassin’s Creed: Shadow are also jumping into the amusement surrounding the New York Yankees’ Torpedo Bat, playfully mocking the team’s impressive offensive performance at the start of the season. Although the game has already been released, its social media team continues to spread the word while enjoying the Major League Baseball Season. Let’s have a peek!

Assassin’s Creed Shadows Pokes fun at New York Yankees’ Torpedo Bat With New “Katana”

If the @Yankees can upgrade their bats, then we can upgrade our katana!

On the official Assassin’s Creed Shadows X page, they shared a humorous tweet about their latest creation, the “Torpedo Katana”. The post describes this weapon as follows:

  • Is 40% more effective in knocking off heads
  • Deals +35% Damage to enemies that wear Heavy Armor
  • And has a 55% higher chance of slicing enemies clean in half with every swing.

As a passionate gamer, I’d say: “If the Yankees could enhance their bats, then I’d love to upgrade my swords (in-game) too!” It’s just a playful jest, because in reality, there are no katanas or Torpedo Katanas in the actual game. But it’s a clever way to keep the gaming community engaged and trendy!

The excitement kicked off during the Yankees’ opening trio of victories against the Milwaukee Brewers, where they scored an impressive total of 36 runs across three games. Specifically, they scored 20 and 12 in their last two matches. This sparked intrigue among fans about a new bat called the Torpedo, which some Yankees players were using.

Ever since the revelation about these unique bats, I’ve been inundated with questions about their legality and what sets them apart. Despite other Yankees players performing admirably against the Brewers without using the torpedo bats, all eyes were glued to this one piece of gear. It seems that everyone got caught up in its mystery, creating quite a stir in the league.

Surely, since the beginning of the month, the Yankees’ offense has returned to normal levels. They notched five runs in their opening game against Arizona, but only managed three in the following one. However, Ubisoft hopped on board right before the joke became stale. At this moment, the post has garnered over 80,000 views and continues to climb.

As a gamer, I’m curious to see what marketing tricks Ubisoft has up their sleeve next. They just managed to outwit Elon Musk on his own platform, and even earned an endorsement from NBA star Karl-Anthony Towns of the New York Knicks. The person behind their social media account is doing something right, and I think they’re due for a raise!
