Assassin's Creed Shadows Announcement Trailer Revealed

Ubisoft has officially announced Assassin's Creed Shadows, the latest title in the renowned Assassin's Creed series. Fans of the franchise can look forward to exploring feudal Japan as the game introduces new playable characters - a female ninja and a male samurai. Speculation arose after leaked footage surfaced online, providing a glimpse into the new historic playground. Adding to the anticipation, a slip-up in the trailer's information revealed Assassin's Creed Shadows release date as November 15. Ubisoft Quebec leads the charge on this new chapter in the Assassin's Creed universe, promising to bring a fresh perspective to the series' beloved formula of stealth, parkour, and combat.

What is the setting and time period of Assassin's Creed Shadows?
nAssassin's Creed Shadows is set in feudal Japan, a time of ninjas and samurai, which marks a new historic era for the franchise.

Assassin’s Creed has traditionally taken players through various historic time periods, allowing them to experience environments ranging from Renaissance Italy to Ancient Egypt. Assassin's Creed Shadows continues this tradition by setting foot in feudal Japan, a highly requested backdrop among fans. The choice of feudal Japan opens up numerous possibilities for rich storytelling and gameplay mechanics that are in line with the culture and history of the samurai and ninja era. Given that Ubisoft Quebec previously developed Assassin's Creed Syndicate, which was praised for its depiction of Victorian London and the introduction of twin playable characters, expectations are high for Assassin's Creed Shadows, with hopes for a similarly compelling narrative and dual-character gameplay dynamics.
