That video? It’s the Assassin’s Creed launch trailer.ܫ Apparently this thing❀ comes out rather soon.

We’re impressed by the subtle, understated tone they’ve been taking with this thing throughout the pre-release hype. There was never any bombast to it, nothing ever exploded, no one was ever threatening to make us their bitch — instead you just have this mysterious dude walking purposefully or brooding on top of a chapel like some kind of angsty gargoyle. This trailer perfectly encapsulates that attitude: it’s got a moving, yet subtle score, there’s very little actual fighting, and they demonstrate just enough parkour to convince a twelve-year-old to jump off the roof of their house.

Cheers Ubisoft!
