Assassin’s Creed Shadows video offers a deep dive on its two playable characters
Alongside the Assassin’s Creed Shadows cinematic reveal trailer, Ubisoft has released a second video offering a deep dive on the game’s two playable characters, which is viewable above.
Set for release on November 15, 2024, Assassin’s Creed Shadows takes place in 16th century Japan.
“The country is heading towards a brutal path to unification, where unrest grows as new coalitions appear and corruptive foreign influences infiltrate the land,” Ubisoft said.
“Players will experience the intertwined stories of Naoe, an adept shinobi Assassin from the Iga Province, and Yasuke, the powerful samurai of historical legend.
“Discover their personal stories, meet pivotal historical figures, and shape the duo’s common destiny as they usher in a new era for Japan.”
Assassin’s Creed Shadows will be released for PS5, Xbox Series X/S, Amazon Luna, Mac, and PC through the Ubisoft Store and the Epic Games Store.
“As Naoe and Yasuke, players can master two complementary playstyles, with each character featuring their own progression paths, skills, weapon options, and stats,” Ubisoft said. “Whether they embrace Naoe’s stealth skills or Yasuke’s combat prowess, players will have plenty of ways to approach objectives.
“With Naoe, they will experience refined infiltration mechanics using light, noise, shadows, and changing surroundings to avoid detection from enemies. With Yasuke, they will be able to take on larger groups of enemies with brutal precision.”
Ubisoft has also detailed three editions of the game, which are now available to pre-order:
