Assassin's Creed Shadows Will Take 'New Direction' With Modern-Day Story, Says Ubisoft
Assassin's Creed games have always told two parallel stories — one, a historical fiction and fantasy that explores various real-world time periods, and the other a modern narrative of two competing groups trying to make sense of that history. Over time, the modern-day storylines in Assassin's Creed titles have become an afterthought, with each game caring less and less about the present-day narrative. That approach is likely set for a chance. Ubisoft has said that Assassin's Creed Shadows will tell a new modern-day story that will draw “meaningful contrast between past and present”.
