The creative director of the game does not want to disappoint fans and puts in context what we will see today of the game.
Creative director of the future Assassin's Creed: Valhalla, Ashraf Ismail (also director at Origins and Black Flag), has preferred to go out publicly on Twitter to prevent fans' expectations from being triggered by the Xbox Inside. Asked about the length of the demo, the creator made it clear that it was not a demo, but an "in-game teaser", which would rule out seeing the title played in real time or a long exposure – it will surely be a trailer with scenes from the game, running on real hardware but edited.
To be clear, this is an in-game first look teaser 😊

Expectations in their right measure
When Ubisoft announced that we would see Valhalla on the Xbox Inside on May 7, just as Microsoft announced with hype that it would be the first time that we would see games running in the new generation, many assumed that Ubisoft would have prepared one of those long playable demos that you are not used to. But Ashraf's intervention puts the situation in its proper context and will prevent it from resulting in further disappointment. Said demonstration will surely be reserved for later, in one of the digital conferences that are prepared to replace E3.
In any case, the appointment with the Xbox Inside promises to be exciting, since there is a lot of curiosity to see with which games the new Micorosft console will be accompanied and to what extent we will notice the technological leap in this new batch of titles. It should be remembered in any case that the Xbox Inside will be aimed at the company's partners, that is, third companies, so we will not see anything about Halo, Hellblade 2 or any of the internal projects of the company's studios.
Remember that you have here all the details and international schedules to see the event this Thursday, May 7 at 17:00 in the afternoon (Spanish peninsular time)
