- Assassin’s Creed Origins actor Bayek has criticized the collaboration between AC Shadows and Attack on Titan.
- He thinks the new collaboration is completely whacky and makes no sense for either franchise.
- Ubisoft is known for teaming with unexpected IPs for its AC titles, such as the Final Fantasy and Origins crossover.
AC Shadows has been a hit or miss, depending on who you ask. While the game satisfied many players, it still lacks the oomph that the classic entries were praised for. However, Ubisoft is doing its best to keep players’ interest alive in the game with major updates.
One of these updates includes an unexpected collaboration with Attack on Titan. However, the popular AC Origins Bayek actor is unhappy with the partnership, calling it a completely ‘whacky’ experience that does not suit the game.
Why it matters: The AC Origins actor is reflecting the sentiment of many fans who argue that Ubisoft is not taking Shadows seriously anymore, as the new Attack on Titan crossover makes no narrative sense.
On Twitter, Bayek actor Abubakar Salim says the new collaboration is completely nonsensical for Assassin’s Creed Shadows. He believes it takes away from the serious undertones of the game, as it makes no sense for the Titans to appear in feudal Japan.
Abubakar also found the Final Fantasy crossover with Origins borderline mad when it happened, so this one is beyond acceptable for him.
Many fans have also criticized Shadows’ unpredictable collaboration with Attack on Titan, bashing Ubisoft for not choosing a more conventional series like Nioh.
Ubisoft has been exploring weird crossovers for a while in Assassin’s Creed games, so we can expect more bizarre crossovers for Shadows in the future.
On a side note, AC Shadows’ first DLC also failed to perform in player reception and sales for Ubisoft, leading to the studio canceling the second planned expansion. We also reported that AC Shadows sold the least across the last five released titles.
Do you think the new Attack on Titan collaboration does not suit Assassin’s Creed Shadows at all, or should the developers go for these wild partnerships in the future? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below, or join the discussion on the Tech4Gamers forum.
