God of War creator David Jaffe is on Sony yet again. Recently, Ubisoft Forward 2024 happened, and it was an absolute blast for the fans. From a new Star Wars Outlaws teaser to some exciting updates of Assassin’s Creed Shadows and many more, this highly anticipated event won everyone’s hearts, including Jaffe’s as well.
Despite being a part of Sony Interactive Entertainment, Jaffe has always been skeptical about PlayStation and its tactics. Previously, we saw how he praised Xbox after the huge Games Showcase. And now it’s time for Sony to get some advice from the veteran yet again.
God of War Creator David Jaffe Wants PlayStation to Buy Ubisoft
The latest Ubisoft Forward was held on June 10, 2024. After some mouthwatering gaming updates, Jaffe couldn’t hold himself from sharing his feelings about the event. On his official X handle, he has stated that the conference was fantastic.
Wow- first Xbox, now @Ubisoft! Their conference was fantastic! Much as I ADORE Starfield, it's cool to see the open world space adventure brought up to modern standards. And AC looks so fucking good!
Hey Playstation-here's how you compete: open up the checkbook, buy Ubisoft.

He even went to praise Star Wars Outlaws and its idea of bringing open-world adventure up to modern standards. He also loved Assassin’s Creed Shadows, with multiple exciting updates being announced.
And as every time Jaffe has a bit of advice for PlayStation, this time too he did have one. Here’s what Jaffe advised the highly popular console company:
“Hey Playstation-here’s how you compete: open up the checkbook, buy Ubisoft.”
After the Xbox Showcase as well, Jaffe went all out praising the event. According to him, that event was “FANTASTIC.” Although he had a little doubt if Xbox could deliver all the titles and updates it promised in the showcase, if it does, then he again advised PlayStation to “have a serious conversation about how to compete moving forward.”
Assassin’s Creed Shadows Announcements at the Ubisoft Forward 2024
Jaffe wasn’t hyping Shadows in the Future without any reason. For the fans who have been waiting for some Shadows updates, this event was huge. First of all, an official gameplay trailer for the highly anticipated title was revealed.
The trailer showed that both protagonists are going to be a lot different in their approaches to progressing through the game.
For example, Yasuke is going to be in full rampage mode, while Naoe is going to be a stealth killer. Yasuke will be honing his samurai legacy through direct confrontation with enemies, wearing junky armor and gear. On the other hand, Lady Shinobi will be a silent killer, without any traces, within the blink of an eye.
Another exciting feature of the game will be the dynamic weather system. And according to the Vice President and Executive Producer of the franchise, here’s how this new feature is going to level up your gameplay:
“You can revisit a location in the winter or in the summer, and in the summer it’s lush. There’s going to be loads of places to hide—you can go prone in the tall grass, that sort of thing—and enemies won’t see you coming. But then, if you go back and it’s winter?”
