Assassin’s Creed Shadows story takes players on a brand-new journey through Japan, but its core theme will likely be very familiar for many players.
While Assassin’s Creed Shadows may deliver a brand-new adventure set within 16th-century Japan, there are also many story beats that some may find familiar. For starters, the entire tale is still built around taking out the Templars, which has been a staple of this franchise forever. On top of that, players will spend much of their time rebuilding the Brotherhood and recruiting allies to save Japan. But at its core, the main theme of the entire story in Assassin’s Creed Shadows may be the most familiar of all: found family.
The theme of found family has become an incredibly popular story to tell over the years, with so many different titles using it as a backdrop. Assassin’s Creed is no stranger to it either, with Assassin’s Creed Shadows seemingly being built around it. The characters within the story spend much of their time finding their place, building new unbreakable bonds, and doing all they can to protect those around them. Even though that set-up may be familiar, it makes for an enthralling adventure nonetheless.
