Brutality and Stealth Are at the Heart of Assassin’s Creed Shadows

Assassination Gameplay with Yasuke

We are then taken on a journey through a thrilling assassination sequence with the samurai Yasuke, reminiscent of the Juggernaut from X-men. Yasuke crashes through doors and structures, swiftly taking down guards and eliminating his target with a precise stab to the gut. This showcases that stealth is not the only option for players, as Naoe possesses the agility and area of effect weapons like the Kusarigama (a chain-sickle) to confront guards directly and strategically eliminate them one by one.

Playing as a Historical Figure

One intriguing aspect of Assassin’s Creed Shadows that piques my interest is the opportunity to embody a historical figure for the first time in the series, namely the Samurai, Yasuke. The intricate narrative of the Assassin’s Creed universe, ranging from Templars to aliens, has always captivated audiences, and the incorporation of Yasuke into this world promises an exciting and engaging experience for players.
