Over the weekend, videos of Assassin's Creed Shadows, which is still nearly a month out from release, began circulating online. The captured gameplay was the result of physical copies of the game being sold online well ahead of release.
After four hours with Ubisoft's open world epic I remain cautiously optimistic.
Now, in response to leaks of gameplay and story elements, Ubisoft has issued a statement. Specifically, the company acknowledged the presence of leaks, while stating that patches are being worked on to improve the game ahead of launch.
As such, "any footage shared online does not represent the final quality of the game."
As mentioned up top, physical copies of the game began circulating on the secondhand market, with one leaker claiming they got their copy of the game off Facebook Marketplace.
Three additional copies of the game were sold on Mercari for $100 each. Flash forward to today, and not only has the listing vanished, but so has the seller. Typically speaking, sold listings remain on the site, as do its sellers, unless they are banned or have their account deleted. It's unclear what camp those listings fall under.
To this point, Assassin's Creed Shadows has been delayed...
