Assassin's Creed Shadows: Details

The storyline for Assassin's Creed Shadows transports players to 16th-century Japan, a period marked by intense conflict and the drive for unification. The game introduces two playable protagonists: Naoe, a skilled Shinobi assassin from Iga province, and Yasuke, the legendary samurai. Their intertwined journeys delve into personal struggles while crossing paths with influential historical figures who helped shape Japan's destiny. 
Players can seamlessly switch between two contrasting playstyles. Naoe is a highly skilled and resourceful shinobi, adept at using "noise, light, and shadows to evade detection." Playing as Naoe, players can utilise throwing weapons like kunai, shuriken, and smoke bombs, while also using a grappling hook and parkour abilities to infiltrate enemy bases. The hidden blade serves as her signature tool for swift assassinations.
 
On the other hand, Yasuke embraces "brutal precision and power" in combat. As a formidable samurai, players will master attacking, blocking, and parrying to overpower foes. Yasuke wields a variety of weapons, including the katana, kanabo, bows, naginata, and more, ensuring a strong and direct approach to battle.
