"Assassin's Creed: Shadow" was recently exhibited at the Japan Expo held in Paris, France, but according to the photos taken on site, not many people care about this game even in France, Ubisoft's home turf.


According to photos taken by the media participating in the exhibition, the organizers allocated a fairly large area for "Assassin's Creed: Shadow", where visitors can watch trailers and even play trial versions, but compared with the Nintendo booth next to it, it was still deserted.

Grummz, the former Diablo 2 producer, said that most people used the Assassin's Creed: Shadow booth as a rest area. There were almost no people there, and there were empty benches for people to rest, while also having a good view of the more popular Nintendo booth across the street.



Ubisoft staff were apparently unhappy that their area was being used as a venue to view a competitor's booth. Visitors said they were asked to either leave the booth or go to the Nintendo booth, where they could only focus on Assassin's Creed: Shadow of War. The booth was said to be showing "exclusive gameplay", which was actually a gameplay video that Ubisoft had already released, but if visitors insisted on watching it to the end, the staff would give them a gift.
