Ubisoft has released a pre-rendered reveal trailer for Assassin’s Creed Shadows, the next major entry in its long-running series of historical fantasy action games. Scheduled for release.
Something to look forward to: For years feudal Japan has been the most requested setting for an Assassin’s Creed game, and Ubisoft will finally indulge those demands this November with Assassin’s Creed Shadows. Although the company hasn’t revealed any gameplay yet, a broad overview of the title reveals multiple significant changes compared to previous entries in the franchise.
Ubisoft has released a pre-rendered reveal trailer for Assassin’s Creed Shadows, the next major entry in its long-running series of historical fantasy action games. Scheduled for release on November 15 for PC, Mac, and consoles, the game takes players to late 16th-century Japan.
While prior Assassin’s Creed titles allowed players to choose between two characters, Shadows alters this approach. Its two avatars are directly connected to historical events and people, each utilizing completely different gameplay styles. Most of the game allows for freely switching between characters.
To engage in open combat similar to Assassin’s Creed Origins or Odyssey, players can control Yasuke – a real-life samurai from Africa who served under warlord Oda Nobunaga. Ubisoft chose Yasuke because he provides a convenient connection between multiple historical topics involving the samurai and Portuguese traders.
