Nick Suzuki Visits Ubisoft Montreal for Assassin’s Creed Shadows Launch
The Montreal Canadiens are on an electrifying playoff push this season, and team captain Nick Suzuki is at the heart of their resurgence. With an impressive 79 points (25 goals, 54 assists) in 74 games, Suzuki has led the Habs from a supposed rebuild year into a legitimate postseason contender. Now, he’s making waves not just on the ice but in the gaming world as well.
Last month, Suzuki visited Ubisoft Montreal to celebrate the highly anticipated launch of Assassin’s Creed Shadows, the newest installment in the legendary franchise. Developed by Ubisoft’s Quebec City and Montreal teams, Shadows transports players to 16th-century feudal Japan, immersing them in a world of political intrigue, stealth, and samurai warfare.
Suzuki, a known gamer, put his skills to the test at Ubisoft’s studio, drawing parallels between the game’s themes and his own playstyle on the ice—strategy, speed, and precision. Ubisoft has released a video recap of Nick’s visit, which fans can check out on both his and Ubisoft’s Instagram profiles.

Much like Assassin’s Creed Shadows, which defied expectations with its polished mechanics, gripping dual-protagonist gameplay, and immersive world, the Canadiens have shattered preseason predictions. Pegged as a non-playoff team, they now hold a wild-card spot in the Eastern Conference with a 35-30-9 record (79 points), surpassing many analysts’ projections.
Suzuki’s leadership and clutch performances have been a cornerstone of Montreal’s success. As the team continues its fight for a postseason berth, his on-ice dominance mirrors the stealth, precision, and tactical mastery celebrated in Assassin’s Creed Shadows.
With a thrilling playoff race and an epic game launch, Canadiens and Assassin’s Creed fans have plenty to be excited about.
