So Ubisoft just released a new trailer for the upcoming game. Notice that I put quotation mark on the word "gameplay"? Well, see the trailer for yourself
For a trailer that is supposed to showcase gameplay, it looks more like cinematics. I can only guess there are three explanation for this;
1. They meant cinematic but somehow used the word gameplay instead
2. The trailer says this was captured on Xbox Series X, so the in-game graphics look as good as the cinematic level
3. A blatant clickbait
I find reason #2 to be the least likely case and #3 the most likely. It's been a long time since I've seen gameplay clickbait like this. I mean, there were trailers showcasing in-game microtransaction (see NBA 2k20 myteam trailer), trailers that looked better than the final product (any Ubisoft games), and trailers that were straight-up cringy or insulting (mighty no. 9), but I have NEVER seen video title be a clickbait to the content of a video itself.
Ubisoft, is this some sort of a new trend you are trying to start?
EDIT: IGN also posted the video under the same name, but they were smart enough to quickly change the title to "game engine". Ubisoft still has it as "gameplay" on their official channel
