10 Clear-Cut Examples Of Video Game False Advertising

10. Assassin's Creed Valhalla

Lets start of small, and by small we mean completely pointless. In a truly strange attempt to mislead audiences, Ubisoft took the stage at Microsoft’s inside Xbox event, announcing to an excited crowd that they were about to get a first look into Assassins Creed Vallhalla’s gameplay.

When the trailer began, fans were eager to see the gameplay for the newest title in the Assassin’s Creed Series. This eagerness quickly turned to disappointment as it became quickly apparant that this grand gameplay trailer, didn’t actually have any gameplay in it.

In the scale of false advertising this is a small offense, but it's also an extremely pointless one. Ubisoft didn’t need to claim this trailer was a gameplay trailer; they could have just released it as another cinematic trailer. Either they were looking to stir up controversy or they really think fans are stupid enough to believe it. Either way it's a bit insulting.
