Ubisoft have revealed how Assassin’s Creed Shadows will play in a new video released as part of Ubisoft Forward.
Assassin’s Creed Shadows takes us back to 16th century Japan during the Azuchi-Momoyama era, featuring a female ninja and a male samurai for its lead characters. That man is a historical character based off Yasuke, a man of African origin who was one of the rare immigrants to Japan and who served Oda Nobunaga. The female ninja is named Naoe from Iga Province, who is inducted into the local Assassin’s order to battle all those dastardly Templars.
Her story will be intertwined with that of Yasuke, letting you master complimentary playstyles as both characters have contrasting abilities – Naoe for stealth, Yasuke for direct combat. This will be a fresh take on the twin protagonists that we’ve seen on occasion through the Assassin’s Creed series.
The game will have a full year cycle that will change the weather and give you different things to do depending on the season. Most importantly, you can also pet the doggos!
There will be three editions of the game, beyond the Standard Edition:
