As promised, Ubisoft surprised the community with the official reveal of Assassin's Creed Shadows, the most recent installment of the legendary science fiction franchise. Although many fans are excited and already want to explore Feudal Japan, a recent find raised the eyebrows of many.
The open-world title will feature a campaign starring Naoe and Yasuke, whose stories will intertwine in what appears to be a complex plot thread. Players will be able to switch between characters throughout the adventure, as it is a single-player proposal without any multiplayer component.
With this in mind, it is striking that the game will require players to comply with a controversial requirement in order to install this ambitious Ubisoft title on their consoles.

Physical versions of Assassin's Creed Shadows will require an internet connection to install
With the official reveal, Ubisoft launched pre-orders for the video game and all its special editions. Fans noticed a strange detail in the stores that already gave a lot to talk about.
The Assassin's Creed Shadows page on the PlayStation 5 PS Store indicates that players will need an internet connection to play this title. Although it is a very common requirement in games as a service, free-to-play and experiences with a very important multiplayer component, it is striking that it is present in a single-player experience.

It seems that the open world game needs to remain online due to microtransactions, which will make an appearance as seen in the current PlayStation Store description.
Now, what about the physical format? Players who choose to purchase the disc versions will also have to meet that requirement. As seen on the game box cover, there is a text that warns that it is necessary to have an internet connection to install the title on the console.
Although controversial, it is not the first time that Ubisoft has taken this measure. Let's remember that Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora also requires an internet connection to install it, and the same will happen with the next Star Wars Outlaws. In the case of the game based on James Cameron's film saga, an Internet connection is needed only once to download the day 1 patch. It is possible that something similar will happen with Assassin's Creed Shadows.

While it is an inconvenience that will affect few, the truth is that it raises serious concerns in terms of preservation. This year, the company shut down the servers for The Crew, a sandbox racing title. Due to its nature of gaming with a permanent internet connection, the end of its online services made it impossible to play.
But tell us, what do you think of this situation? Let us read you in the comments.
