Assassin’s Creed Shadows support surges after “legendary” Elon Musk ratio

by

Assassin’s Creed Shadows gained significant appreciation following the official X account’s “legendary” response to Elon Musk on social media.

Ubisoft has faced numerous criticisms, ranging from the controversy over Yasuke’s appearance in Shadow to concerns about shrine desecration by the Japanese government. Despite these criticisms and heated discussions surrounding its action RPG, it continues to break sales records and attract two million players. However, the developers have maintained a quiet stance regarding this negative discourse.

Instead of emphasizing the positive aspects and expressing gratitude to the community’s “heartwarming” support, Ubisoft initially chose a more diplomatic approach. However, on March 25, this stance shifted dramatically when Elon Musk, owner of X and CEO of Tesla, publicly expressed his dislike for Assassin’s Creed: Shadows.

This result was “historically impressive,” as Ubisoft’s official Assassin’s Creed X account managed to silence Elon Musk, a moment greatly appreciated by spectators.

Gamers vow to buy AC Shadows after Musk ratio 

In a discussion initiated by ex-game developer Grummz, Elon Musk accused well-known Twitch streamer Hasan of being dishonest. He alleged that Hasan is endorsing a poor quality game merely for financial gain.

Unexpectedly, Ubisoft’s X official account responded with: “Is that what the player of your Path of Exile 2 game told you?” This tweet garnered an impressive 509,000 likes and 57,000 retweets within seconds, leaving many commenters in awe, labeling it as an exceptional exchange.

The hilarious reaction prompted some commentators to promise they would buy the game, with one X user saying, “I’m going to download Assassin’s Creed: Shadows in tribute to this epic ratio.

Is that what the guy playing your Path of Exile 2 account told you?

I find it hard to believe that I’ll be purchasing this game due to this response,” was the reply given. Other commentators playfully suggested that the strategy was a clever tactic by Ubisoft, serving as a fresh approach to advertising that they approve of.

In response to the criticism leveled against it, not just Ubisoft but also Hideki Kamiya, the renowned Japanese game developer, is standing up for his work, Shadows. He feels that the game has been unfairly targeted by some overly passionate individuals.

It’s uncertain if Elon Musk’s “legendary” influence will significantly impact AC Shadows’ sales or player count records. However, this event is one that many people are likely to recall, regardless of the outcome.
