wccftech.com:

Ubisoft has released 13 minutes of extended Assassin's Creed Shadows gameplay, showing off the game's updated stealth mechanics, exploration, environments, and more.

The new footage was released during the publisher's Ubisoft Forward event. In addition to the extended gameplay footage, Game Director Charles Benoit and Art Director Thierry Dansereau also presented a deep dive into the game's combat and stealth. "The Gameplay Walkthrough mission shown at the conference takes place in the castle town of Fukuchiyama in Tamba Province, where Naoe and Yasuke are hunting down a corrupted daimyo", the press release from Ubisoft reads. "The gameplay illustrates the complementary dynamic between the two playable heroes: Naoe,
the agile and stealthy Shinobi, and Yasuke, the combat-focused Samurai."

Both new videos have been included below. We've also included some additional info about the gameplay walkthrough mission, as provided by Ubisoft.

• Naoe embodies the essence of a Shinobi Assassin. From a versatile grappling hook that
  allows for stealthy in-air assassinations and greater mobility, to kunai and her custom
  Hidden Blade for swift eliminations, she has access to a diverse arsenal of tools to strike
  from the shadows. While more vulnerable in close combat, she can skillfully deflect,
  dodge enemy strikes, and retaliate with lethal precision, using light, her surroundings,
  and structures around her to topple her foes.
• Yasuke is tailored for direct confrontations, relying on his exceptional combat skills and
  mastery of Samurai weaponry. Whether wielding the Katana for decisive strikes, opting
  for raw power with the Kanabo, or engaging opponents from a distance with lethal flint
  rifle called Teppo, he can handle multiple enemies at once.

Assassin's Creed Shadows is slated for a release on Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, PC, Amazon Luna, and Macs with Apple silicon via the Mac App Store
