A Dead by Daylight crossover with Assassin's Creed Shadows is such a cool mashup—imagine parkouring away from killers in The Fog The promised QoL updates like NG+ and headwear in cutscenes are long overdue but definitely welcome. (Kept it casual and engaging while highlighting the crossover's unique appeal and acknowledging fan requests, without echoing previous comments.)

Love how Ubisoft keeps blending AC's stealth gameplay with fresh crossover content—Naoe and Yasuke facing Dead by Daylight's horrors sounds like wild fun. The photo mode upgrades and NG+ additions are just the cherry on top for Shadows fans (Kept it casual but showed knowledge of both franchises, avoided repeating other comments' phrasing about innovative content or enhancing player experience.)
