Assassin’s Creed Shadows: Details
The company said that the Assassin's Creed Shadows video game is set in the Feudal Era of Japan during the 16th century where the country is “on a brutal path to unification.” The game has two protagonists – Naoe, a shinobi assassin from Iga Province, and Yasuke, the samurai of historical legend. The story goes through these characters' personal lives and encounters prominent historical figures that participated in shaping Japan of that era.
With Naoe and Yasuke, players can choose between two different play styles as both protagonists have their own skills, progression path and weapon options. Ubisoft said that with Naoe’s stealth skills players can experience a sophisticated infiltration mechanic in which she uses dynamic environments to stay hidden. Similarly, with Yasuke, players will be able to “attack larger enemy forces with brutal precision.”
