Assassin's Creed Shadows
Since its first release in 2007, the Assassin's Creed series has sold over 200 million copies worldwide. It is Ubisoft's flagship brand and has evolved from a stealth action-adventure to an action role-playing game with huge game worlds. Now it's time for the next major game in the franchise, which combines both stealth action and action RPG.
After the more classic spin-off Assassin's Creed Mirage (2023), the French publisher Ubisoft will release the next major instalment in the series in November, which will bridge the gap between the old and new AC games - set in Japan during the late Sengoku period, known for its political turmoil, wars and dramatic social reform. The game has been designed to fulfil two player phantasies: Shinobi and Samurai. This means that the two protagonists, Yasuke and Naoe, offer different gameplay experiences and overlapping perspectives, with each character having their own progression path, abilities, weapon options and stats. That dual protagonists, Yasuke and Naoe, offer distinct and complementary gameplay experiences and overlapping perspectives, with each character having their own progression path, abilities, weapon options and stats. After their separate introductions at the beginning of the game, players can choose to complete missions with either character.
