Ubisoft has undoubtedly dropped the community challenge of the year, putting the community into full frenzy. The #ACShadowsStealthChallenge sees the cast finding out who are the sneakiest assassins in the community, and reactions? Utter chaos.
Now, the rules are simple: Watch the provided video and submit the finest stealth gameplay before August 17. Then pray no one sneaks right past you, especially that “MisterAlpha444” fellow who already claims he has won. Are you serious? Chill out, man. The contest does not even have to have started now. But, confidence is half the battle, I suppose.
Comments are an insane mixture of hype, bitterness, and unusual retorts. Some gamers actually plan to forsake stealth altogether and just bulldoze their way through using Yasuke as if it were a Dynasty Warrior game. “Im going to walk through the front door and beat the shit out of anyone who gets in my way,” they said. Respect. Horror Hos, meanwhile, has outright meltdowns over a glitched katana skin, screaming about Ubisoft’s personal betrayal. And honestly? Same here.
And then comes Kevin McIntyre with a take so cold: “I don’t know who best assassin was but Black Flag was best game.” Facts. No arguments. But let’s not forget the one who suggested caveman-Assassin’s Creed. Binger, you are a genius. Ubisoft, make it happen.
Thus, the community began to really discuss the challenge. Sentinelzer0 asks if higher-difficulty runs get bonus points, while everyone else is just hyped about seeing the crazy-ass clips the community is going to really bring. Hidden One even got in to wish everyone good luck—class act.
But who really are the MVPs in all this? Simon. Somehere shouted his name for his energy and passion, and what can we say? We stan a passionate community manager.
So what’s next? Players are gearing up to submit their gameplay; some to show skill, some just for meme-value. Yasuke mains shall carry for sure, or some will pull off a no-hit run where they ghost the rest of us into shame; we’ll see.
For one good thing, this will be damn good. Whether competing or laughing at the trainwreck, August 17 seems too far away. If you excuse me now, I gotta perfect my stealth kills… or maybe reinstall Black Flag.
