Ubisoft has made an absolutely majestic crossover no one thought would ever find existence: Assassin’s Creed Shadows joining Dead by Daylight in a glorious giveaway. And the gamers? Well, some are having fun in the replies, while others… let’s just say the vibes are mixed.
The official account of Assassin’s Creed teased the players with a shadowy caption that read, “Careful of what lurks from the shadows π.” Then, it proceeded to instruct anyone watching to like the post and comment “π»π” for a chance to win the bundle. Easy. But then the comments section turned into a war zone even faster than one can say “hidden blade.”
First, the hype squad arrived in all their glory: “Awesome” from @warhawk09 and then flexing with “Been playing AC since AC 2… love these games” by @SpirusNox. Or @_theonlykirby just living it up: “I love AC and DBD π.” Yes, Kirby. Same here.
Alongside are those throwing no confetti. The roar of @anthony_luca96 went out, “JUST PLEASE CHANGE THE FIGHTING MECHANIC TO THAT OF AC SYNDICATE!!!” He means that he’s not happy with the combat system as it currently stands. Then, we have @JustinN87713751 shouting out: “This is not a true AC game this is a glorified samurai game.” He even told people to not bother entering the giveaway, calling it “pointless.” Yikes. Somebody’s salty.
Meanwhile, some folks want free stuff. “@cybercirilla: ‘π»π itβs my birthday pick meee,'” and “@quinmcgaming: ‘Invested.'” ‘@TallBinkle: “π»π sick bundle.”‘ No frills, just honesty.
There was also some random stuff popping in. @Tenebr1s_Kn1ght answered with a laughing emoji and then posted some kind of link without context. Just vibes. Classic Twitter.
So, what’s all in the bundle, then, huh? Ubisoft hasn’t committed much more to the reveal than this, but judging by the π»π emojis (ghost horse? spooky ride?), we’re looking at some pretty slick crossover skins or gear. Some Assassin lurking in Dead by Daylight? Or a DbD killer creeping into Shadows? Whichever one it is, people are scrambling to chuck their names in the hat.
Meanwhile, here’s the real teaβthere’s way more important stuff floating over the surface of this giveaway. Some fans are begging for Black Flag Remake (@CasualGamer96), others are demanding an AC game in Japan (@vergoalvero), and some are here to argue combat mechanics. Typical AC-lore stuff.
Regardless, one thing is clear: Ubisoft knows how to keep people talking. Whether you’re in for the drama or the loot, this crossover is a win for all. If you’ll excuse me, I have to go spam “π»π” in the replies. You never know.
