Assassin's Creed Shadows

Assassin's Creed Shadows is Ubisoft's long-awaited journey into feudal Japan — arguably the most requested Assassin's Creed setting in the franchise's history — and it arrives with a dual-protagonist system that brilliantly captures two opposing philosophies of the shinobi world. Naoe is a nimble, acrobatic shinobi specializing in stealth, shadow assassination, and parkour through the stunning landscapes of Sengoku-era Japan. Yasuke — the legendary real-world African samurai who served under Oda Nobunaga — is a powerful warrior who fights with overwhelming force, engaging enemies directly in brutal katana duels. The ability to switch between them allows players to approach any situation their preferred way, and Ubisoft's recreation of the Japanese countryside — with dynamic seasons that transform snowy temples into cherry blossom landscapes — is genuinely breathtaking. The most ambitious Assassin's Creed in years.
