Perhaps the publisher of the old game also needs to reconsider in the face of this somewhat strong reaction.
Setting aside the recent controversies surrounding NFT game projects, whenever Ubisoft is mentioned, many immediately think of a reputable game publisher, ensuring quality with numerous blockbuster series. Even in 2020, Ubisoft shocked everyone by releasing 5 AAA titles within just 12 months. Despite prioritizing development speed, few may know that Ubisoft has been brewing a masterpiece for 9 years, investing a staggering sum of around 120 million USD (over 2,700 billion VND). And as planned, this latest AAA masterpiece is set to be released soon.
That name being referred to here is Blue Sea and Black Sails - a blockbuster that Ubisoft has been nurturing for its duration. After 9 years of undergoing numerous overhauls, even personnel changes, gameplay adjustments, graphics enhancements, Ubisoft has officially confirmed that the game will be released later this year. According to sources, Blue Sea and Black Sails will be a multiplayer online naval warfare game. And a 6-minute trailer, revealing many scenes of this blockbuster, has also been leaked.
However, it's worth mentioning the background of Blue Sea and Black Sails. Initially, this game was developed as DLC for 'Assassin's Creed: Black Flag', but then, Ubisoft unexpectedly made a 180-degree turn and decided to turn it into a standalone game. However, this has somewhat led Blue Sea and Black Sails to face more intense scrutiny from gamers. Alongside many praises for its graphics and initial gameplay, there are also numerous comments suggesting that Blue Sea and Black Sails shares too many similarities with 'Assassin's Creed: Black Flag'.
Thus, the fortress-like port, the costumes of the characters, and the town layout in the trailer from this blockbuster all bear the shadow of Assassin's Creed: Black Flag. Even the design of the ships, the use of spyglasses to observe enemy ships, everything has been scrutinized by the gaming community and deemed too reminiscent of that Assassin's Creed game.
Certainly, Blue Sea and Black Sail still possess many commendable aspects, and regardless, with 9 years of development and nearly 2.7 trillion invested, this is undoubtedly a promising blockbuster.
