Can this save Ubisoft? - Assassin's Creed Shadows Hands-On Gameplay Preview (6 Hours)
8Feudal Japan has the potential to be one of the most memorable and varied Assassin's Creed locations yet, at least judging by our four hours of recent playtime.
Well, here we are. Less than two weeks since Assassin’s Creed Shadows received its most recent delay from February 14 to March 20, 2025 , and it’d be fair to say players are curious about the state this latest entry into Ubisoft’s historical-set series is in. It’s with this in mind that, having now played close to four hours at a recent hands-on preview event myself, I can honestly say signs of a troubled or precarious development could seldom be found. This is very much the open-world RPG lineage of Assassin’s Creed that began with 2018’s Origins, only prettied up and supplanted onto the setting longtime fans have asked for since forever. The result? A simply beautiful, current-gen take on feudal Japan that is rewarding to explore and stealth through, now more flexibly than ever thanks to the different gameplay styles protagonists Yasuke and Naoe provide.
