Assassin's Creed Shadows

Video game

Assassin's Creed Shadows is an upcoming action-adventure game set in feudal Japan during the Azuchi-Momoyama period. The game follows two protagonists: Naoe, a skilled shinobi, and Yasuke, a historical African samurai. Players can switch between these characters, each offering unique playstyles. Naoe excels in stealth and agility, while Yasuke specializes in melee combat. The game introduces a new stealth system where players must rely on character senses rather than an eagle companion, enhancing tactical gameplay. The game features an open world comparable in size to Assassin's Creed Origins, with dynamic seasons affecting gameplay. New mechanics include a grappling hook for parkour and the ability to crawl, allowing for more stealth options. The "Observe" feature helps players strategically assess their surroundings. With historically accurate weapons and settings, Assassin's Creed Shadows offers a rich historical fantasy experience, blending classic Assassin's Creed elements with new innovations.
