The anticipation is palpable! Everyone's eager to sink their teeth into Assassin's Creed Shadows, exploring feudal Japan as Naoe and Yasuke. But when will the critical curtain lift and we get to read the first reviews? That's where the review embargo comes in.
Simply put, a review embargo is an agreement between a game developer/publisher (Ubisoft, in this case) and media outlets. It specifies the date and time when reviews can be published. This allows for a coordinated release of information and prevents premature leaks. Unfortunately, the exact Assassin's Creed Shadows review embargo date is still under wraps.
Keep your eyes peeled on major gaming websites and YouTube channels. Once the embargo lifts, expect a flood of reviews analyzing everything from the combat system and open-world exploration to the narrative depth and performance. Until then, we'll just have to rely on gameplay trailers and developer insights to fuel our hype!
