Assassin’s Creed Shadows: Details

 

Ubisoft has revealed the storyline for the Assassin’s Creed Shadows. The game takes players to 16th-century Japan, a time when the country was “on a brutal path to unification.” The game features two protagonists: Naoe, a Shinobi assassin from Iga province, and Yasuke, the legendary samurai. Their intertwined stories will explore personal struggles and encounters with key historical figures who played a role in shaping Japan’s future.

 

Players can switch between two distinct playstyles, as each character comes with unique abilities, progression paths, and weapon choices. Naoe’s stealth expertise allows for intricate infiltration mechanics, utilising dynamic environments to remain undetected. Meanwhile, Yasuke delivers a more aggressive approach, enabling players to “attack larger enemy forces with brutal precision.”
