I played 5 hours of Assassins Creed Shadows and I have some thoughts...
50Assassin's Creed Shadows is an upcoming installment in the Assassin's Creed series by Ubisoft Canada which is the same team behind games like Assassins Creed Origins, Assassins Creed Odyssey and Assassins Creed Valhalla.
The game is set in feudal Japan around the late 16th century. This era is known for its warring states, leading up to the unification of Japan under Oda Nobunaga.
The game will feature dual Protagonists:
First is Naoe: A shinobi from the Iga province, who will offer a more traditional stealth gameplay approach. She is involved with the Hidden Ones (the precursor to the Assassins), and her narrative explores the life of a ninja in Japan.
Next is Yasuke: Who was an African samurai who served under Nobunaga. In the game, he provides a contrasting playstyle, focusing more on direct combat and brute strength, offering players a choice between stealth and confrontation.
The game promises to blend traditional Assassin’s Creed elements like parkour, stealth, and assassination with new mechanics tailored to the setting.
Naoe's gameplay might lean heavily on traditional ninja tools like shurikens and traps, while Yasuke's could involve samurai combat techniques.
Environmental interaction and dynamic weather systems are expected to influence stealth and combat scenarios.
Please note, since this game has not yet been released, some details might change or be expanded upon closer to or after its launch. If you need more current or specific information, I can look up the latest news or trailers.
