Extend Your Assassin's Creed Shadows Experience with Official Manga | Push Square
Assassin’s Creed has had various comic book and manga adaptations, most notably the Blade of Shao Jun, which was inspired by Assassin’s Creed Chronicles: China.
But the upcoming Assassin’s Creed Shadows was always going to be ripe for a manga, and Ubisoft has announced that it’s cooking up an adaptation for launch in Japan. The comic will release globally at a later date, with Kodansha on publishing duties.
“Discover the official prequel of the game,” the blurb reads. “Follow the story a young Assassin apprentice, as she fights against the growing presence of the Templars order in Japan.”
Judging by the cover, there’ll be multiple volumes and the story will star Naoe from the game. Obviously, it’s unclear how it will connect to the main plot just yet, but hopefully it adds some depth to the characters and storyline.

There are no samples of the artwork inside the comic just yet, but we’ll definitely get a better look in the lead up to its Japanese launch on 20th March.
