Assassin's Creed: Shadow has been controversial since its announcement, but many fans are still looking forward to it. Recently, TGA officially released a tweet asking everyone which game they are most looking forward to in 2024? Assassin's Creed: Shadow and Black Myth: Wukong were listed as the first choices.


This coincides with the fact that pre-orders for Assassin's Creed: Shadow are very popular. It has been reported that the game performed well in different regions, including Japan. Assassin's Creed: Shadow once topped the PS5 game best-selling list on Amazon Japan. This also shows that online controversy usually does not hurt the sales of major game titles, which is similar to the situation of Hogwarts Legacy.


In the comments section, many people said they were looking forward to Assassin's Creed: Shadow and Black Myth: Wukong being released this year. Their comments also received a lot of likes, indicating that many others agreed with their views.


Assassin's Creed: Shadow is popular partly because it is set in feudal Japan, and the diverse gameplay provided by the two protagonists Yasuke and Naoue also attracts many players. However, there is a lot of controversy about Yasuke's samurai identity, and some Japanese critics and fans believe that his description is inconsistent with history. It is reported that Yasuke's story was fabricated by Thomas Lockley. In response, Ubisoft has issued an apology.


Regardless, many people are still interested in Assassin's Creed: Shadow, which will be released in November this year. At the same time, the Chinese blockbuster Black Myth: Wukong, which is adapted from the classic Chinese novel Journey to the West and is bound to become a milestone for Chinese game developers, is also popular.
