Some Big Announcements From UbiSoft
Ubisoft has made a surprising revelation today, renaming the much-discussed game as Assassin’s Creed Shadows. This announcement was accompanied by a real-life image of Japan, hinting at the setting of the game and building excitement for the full reveal.
When Can We See More?
Mark your calendars for May 15, at 9 am PT, as Ubisoft plans to drop the “Official Cinematic World Premiere Trailer.” Keep your alarm set if you’re a true fan or a passionate gamer.
What Do We Know So Far?
While details have been sparse, here’s what we’ve gathered:
- Setting: Prepare to be transported to Feudal Japan, a setting that promises intrigue and mystery.
- Protagonists: Unlike previous titles, Assassin’s Creed Shadows will feature not one, but two protagonists. One character will excel in stealth gameplay, trained as a shinobi, while the other will wield the skills of a samurai, mastering the art of combat.
- Gameplay: Expect an open-world experience akin to Assassin’s Creed Odyssey and Assassin’s Creed Valhalla. However, we’re hopeful that traversal will be smoother and more enjoyable.
- Mythology: Delve into the rich mythology of Japanese culture, as the game is rumored to introduce Yokai spirits and draw inspiration from various folk tales.
