Assassin’s Creed Shadows Won’t Force Players to Spend Equal Time With Both Protagonists
While Assassin’s Creed Shadows will have two protagonists, each with their own strengths and weaknesses, creative director Jonathan Dumont has revealed that players won’t be missing out on much if they choose to focus on only one of them. In a recent interview with Screenrant, Dumont said that the game will not be locking off content depending on the player’s choice in protagonists.
“I don’t think you’re missing out on things too much,” said Dumont. “I think it’s more on your preference to [say], ‘Okay, I’ll see how the game will adapt a little bit to the character if you choose one over the other.'”

“But if you want to balance it out… I play quite a bit balanced out and what happens is, I play with one for three, four, five hours, and then I switch, and then I just play two, three hours. Usually I play stealth and then I [say], ‘All right, let me destroy some camps and stuff all right for a while.’ And then I just change
