Côté displayed the scenes from the new Assassin’s Creed game Strikes in feudal Japan, which added cascading waterfalls and cherry blossom trees improved by ray-traced graphics.
Côté stated the company sees a chance to "share our passion for games with more players in the Apple ecosystem thanks to the unified gaming platform with tight integration of Metal (Apple's hardware-acceleration API) and Apple silicon."
The company confirmed that Assassin's Creed Shadows will launch on November 15 globally. This is the first AAA-rated game that will be released on Mac and other platforms like Windows PC, Xbox, and PlayStation.
