Assassin's Creed Shadows is a 2025 action role-playing game developed by Ubisoft Quebec and published by Ubisoft. The game is the fourteenth major installment in the Assassin's Creed series and the successor to Assassin's Creed Mirage.
In 1581, the bodyguard Diogo arrives in Kyoto with a delegation of Jesuit priests to negotiate with Oda Nobunaga for the safe passage of all Jesuit priests through Japan. Nobunaga decides to grant the request, but only on the condition that Diogo be transferred under his service as a warrior, as he has taken an interest in him. Six months later, Diogo, now renamed Yasuke, accompanies Nobunaga on his assault against the Iga Province to exterminate the Iga ikki. During the battle, shinobi Fujibayashi Naoe is tasked by her father Nagato to take his Hidden Blade and use it recover a special box hidden in a nearby kofun, which she must protect at all costs. However, the box is stolen by group of masked samurai dubbed the "Shinbakufu", leaving Nagato mortally wounded. With his last breath, Nagato instructs Naoe to "follow the blade".
After recovering from her wounds, Naoe seeks her old family friend Tomiko for assistance. Tomiko agrees to allow Naoe use her farm as a base to gather supplies and allies, and directs her to head to the city of Sakai to follow the trail of the Shinbakufu. Upon arriving in Sakai, Naoe gathers additional allies and manages to track down and kill two of the Shinbakufu. She is then approached by Akechi Mitsuhide, who requests that she help him assassinate Nobunaga, who is the leader of the Shinbakufu. With Mitsuhide's help, Naoe infiltrates Honnoji Temple and attacks Nobunaga, only to be stopped by Yasuke. Nobunaga claims that Mitsuhide lied to Naoe and that he has no ties to the Shinbakufu. Confused, Naoe leaves the temple while Nobunaga commits seppuku to prevent his head from falling into Mitsuhide's hands, leaving Yasuke a ronin.
In order to take revenge on Mitsuhide, both Naoe and Yasuke converge on Katano Castle to find him. Yasuke then tells Naoe he wants to join her cause, recognizing the Hidden Blade she carries and hoping that he can find a new purpose following her. He reveals that when he killed the leader of Iga, Momochi Sandayu, he also carried a Hidden Blade and instructed Yasuke to help Naoe if he found her. Naoe considers killing Yasuke in revenge, but is convinced otherwise by one of her followers, Junjiro, whose father was one of the Shinbakufu she killed but he eventually chose to forgive her. Working together, Naoe and Yasuke continue their quest to track down and kill more of the Shinbakufu, eventually encountering and allying with Hattori Hanzo and Tokugawa Ieyasu. Hanzo warns Naoe to forget about the box, as both Nagato and her mother Tsuyu died protecting it. However, seeing that Naoe will not back down, Hanzo instructs her to head to a kofun in Settsu to find out the truth about her parents. There, she finds an Assassin hideout and journal, revealing the Assassin Order was instructed by Emperor Go-Nara to build a new Brotherhood in Japan, with Tsuyu being one of the Assassins given the task.
Eventually, Naoe and Yasuke manage to kill all of the Shinbakufu except for Mitsuhide himself. They head for Shoryuji Castle where Mitsuhide is besieged by Hashiba Hideyoshi and join Hideyoshi's army, intending to reach Mitsuhide first to find the box's location. They defeat Mitsuhide, who reveals the true leader of the Shinbakufu is Ashikaga Yoshiaki, who possesses the box. In addition, the box contains a special artifact called "The Jewel". Having learned what she needed, Naoe kills Mitsuhide to avenge her father. Hideyoshi claims victory and promises to reform Japan, with Naoe warning him to keep to that promise or face the wrath of the Assassins. Naoe and Yasuke then confront Yoshiaki, who surrenders and offers to trade both the Jewel and information for his life. He reveals that an Assassin was last spotted in Yamato, while a member of the Templar Order that Yasuke is searching for, Duarte de Melo, can be found in Port Obama. The pair spare Yoshiaki's life, but not before Yasuke points out that Nobunaga has made his mark in history while Yoshiaki will be forgotten.
