Assassin’s Creed Shadows Possible Menu Leak Making Fans Unhappy

Ever since the announcement of the new Assassin’s Creed Shadows, players have been speculating various aspects of the gameplay and new mechanics the game will introduce in the franchise. However, as the details about the game have been released more controversies are emerging than any positive discussions among the community.

Players were excited to see the movement of Naoe as she was a shinobi assassin. However, when her movements were showcased, players felt that her movements were very stiff and lacked emotions. Now that a possible leak for the game’s menu has surfaced, players are even more discontent as for many it lacks creativity.

Reddit User, AssassinsHome4, posted a clip showcasing the menu UI and the background. After seeing the clip, players have mixed feelings as some feel this must be fake (because too bad) or not rendered properly (missing some color), while others are not happy at all, hoping that this is the final product as this much red hurt their eyes.

Some players feel that the red is a tad bit too much and needs some contrast.

While others can’t see this menu for too long as it hurts their eyes.

Some find the menu UI too similar to the previous game but with a red background.

Some also feel the cursor should be different for each platform. The thread is full of comments that highlight the glaring issues with the menu UI and how it is similar to other titles in the series. Even tho players loved the background image, the red color all around is dropping the appeal (needs more contrasting color).

Even though Assassin’s Creed Shadows has gotten a lot of hate for its various choices (protagonist, now Menu UI). If the game is able to deliver immersive and engaging gameplay, all the players (new or old) will forget these controversies and enjoy it to the fullest.

However, to achieve that feat, Ubisoft needs to step up and show more commitment to the game. Rather than following its set path, it needs to listen to the player’s feedback and address these issues as quickly as possible. By doing this it will not only achieve more faith from the fans but will also distract players from all the controversies.

As the players are digging into rumors and leaks to learn more about the game, now is the time for the studio to prove that they listen and are dedicated to making the gameplay experience as immersive as possible. In the end, players can only hope and raise concerns over the issues, it is in the hands of the developer to actually implement the changes.
