When a publisher/developer is extremely confident in their product, they'll tend to pour in as much money as possible to raise awareness and hype. This usually entails a massive marketing blast that includes a ton of PR, a couple of preview videos, or even a celebrity of some sort playing the game. However, for Ubisoft, it often means you're getting a live-action representation of said game. Exhibit A would be last year's Far Cry 5 short film, on Amazon Prime Video, that focused on the events leading up to Far Cry 5. In other cases, if you're a popular IP like Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed series, you'll get a subpar movie starring Michael Fassbender.
