Having tried my luck with AK MirageThe French giant has focused its efforts on an ambitious project that The action takes place in Japan during the Sengoku period.. Ubisoft said this is the most requested setting in the franchise’s 16-year history.

“IN Assassin’s Creed Shadowsyou will live intertwined stories Naoe, skilled shinobi assassin from Iga Province, and Yasuke, a powerful African samurai legends.

What is it about Shadow of Assassin’s CreedYes

In an interview with IGNUbisoft has offered more details about the game. Marc-Alexis Côté, executive producer of the franchise, commented: Assassin’s Creed Shadows will recreate Japan in 1579 in detail.

The developers chose the Azuchi-Momoyama period, a difficult transitional era between Sengoku and Edo. “This will be the last time samurai will participate in a major battle, and the last time they will serve in a purely military role,” said Stéphanie-Anne Ruatta, global director of Ubisoft Quebec.

Just like we saw in AS Odyssey And AK ValhallaUbisoft will bet on two playable characters: Naoe and Yasuke.. Charles Benoit, the game’s director, mentioned in the second trailer that they want players to feel what it’s like to control a shinobi assassin and samurai.

The game will have a less linear structure because We can choose the order in which we eliminate our targets..
