"Assassin's Creed: Shadow" is related to the future of the series, and it is urgent to win a key victory.

Recently, Shubhankar Parijat, editor of the well-known foreign media GamingBolt, wrote an article emphasizing that the upcoming "Assassins Creed Shadows" is of great significance to the entire series, and it urgently needs to win an "undoubted victory" ”, in order to reverse the unfavorable situation of the decline in the reputation of the series of works in recent years.

Shubhankar Parijat analysis pointed out that given the continued rise in development costs of 3A-level games, such games can only demonstrate their value by achieving outstanding achievements. Although the Assassin's Creed series has achieved great success in the commercial level in recent years, public evaluations have shown a clear polarization trend, which undoubtedly brings a heavier burden to "Shadow" than ordinary 3A games.

Recalling the development of the Assassin's Creed series, Shubhankar Parijat believes that Assassin's Creed: Origins and Assassin's Creed: Odyssey mark the peak moments of the series, especially the latter, which is praised by many players as Classic work in the series. However, although Assassin's Creed: Valhalla shines in the commercial field, its huge open-world design and repetitive content have aroused many dissatisfaction among players, resulting in a significant differentiation in reputation.

　　Although the following "Assassin's Creed: Fantasy" regains the early stealth and parkour elements of the series, it failed to win "clear success" due to its lack of distinct innovative highlights.

Shubhankar Parijat further pointed out that the success or failure of "Assassin's Creed" will have a profound impact on the entire series. If "Shadow" fails again, it will not only accelerate the decline of the series, but may even trigger a chain reaction of sales shrinking simultaneously under the double blow of poor reputation.

　　Although It is too early to conclude the final fate of "Shadow", but Shubhankar Parijat believes it is appropriate to maintain a cautious optimism. Once "Shadow" can successfully break through, it will undoubtedly inject a new vitality into the "Assassin's Creed" series. On the contrary, if Shadow encounters setbacks again, it may have a more profound negative impact on the series.
