Assassin’s Creed Shadows Unveiled with Dual Protagonists

Ubisoft has officially announced the upcoming release of Assassin’s Creed Shadows with a captivating cinematic trailer that introduces dual protagonists. Set to launch on November 15, Shadows will follow the journey of Japan’s first African samurai, Yasuke, and a female shinobi character named Naoe.

Each character comes with unique abilities, gear, and skill progression that players can unlock as they delve deeper into the storyline and explore the expansive world of feudal Japan.

With the ability to train crew members, craft gear, and interact with key characters, players can fully immerse themselves in the world of Assassin’s Creed Shadows.

Assassin’s Creed Shadows marks a return to the open-world RPG format that fans have come to love since the release of Assassin’s Creed Origins. With its rich narrative, diverse characters, and stunning visuals, Shadows promises to be an exciting addition to the acclaimed series.
