Assassin’s Creed Shadowshad a surprisingly smooth release, considering the history ofAssassin’s Creedreleases.
For a game series that had some nightmare-fuel glitches, likecharacters inAC Unitylosing their entire face and making eyes float into the air, the glitches that we’re seeing inShadows’early days, just a few hours after release, are just okay to deal with.
It’s nothing that breaks the game, which is proven by players rating the game positively as well ascriticsgiving it an average 8/10, showing that whatever issues that are happening aren’t really disturbing the gameplay.
There’s one glitch, though, that has been found by severalAssassin’s Creed Shadowsplayers, and it’s actually quite funny and a bit scary if you look too closely into it.
Petting the dog in AC Shadows makes the dog stand up and freeze
A player shared a video of them petting a dog inAC Shadowsat night, and as they approach the dog, the dog simply stands in a T-pose and keeps standing while the player pets the air, almost as if they are channeling something between their hands instead of actually petting the dog.
S,o while Naomi thinks there is a dog there, the dog is standing still, frozen in mid-air next to her while his spirit is being petted in front.
This glitch is harmless because this is not a fight scene, and this doesn’t break anything in the game, so it’s just funny that this interaction can happen. But it’s also likely that if it gains too much attention, Ubisoft will soon patch it because, of course, it kills some of the immersion of the game.
Still,the game has been topping sales chartsand getting positive player reviews, despitesome toxic players having some oddly weird behavior towards streamers, just because they don’t like some of the choices Ubisoft made with the game.
However, nothing like this seems to be disturbing the community that much, and the game keeps featured in Steam’s top seller list andbeating the releases of otherAssassin’s Creedgamesthat were on Steam before.
