Ubisoft unveils "Assassin's Creed Shadows", the latest installment in the iconic Assassin's Creed series, featuring a dual character system. The game stars Naoe, a ninja trained in stealth and the first to wield the series' signature Hidden Blade, and Yasuke, a samurai who uses raw strength with swords and clubs in combat. Yasuke's character is inspired by a historical figure who arrived in Japan in 1579 and interacted with warlord Oda Nobunaga, setting the game in the same era. Fans can look forward to the first gameplay footage next month. Assassin's Creed Shadows is set to launch on November 15 for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S. This information is critical for fans of the series and for gamers interested in historical action-adventure RPGs.

What platforms will Assassin's Creed Shadows be available on?

Assassin's Creed Shadows will be available on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S.

Assassin's Creed Shadows is adding to the expansive universe of Assassin's Creed, a series well known for blending historical settings with a fictional narrative centered around the conflict between the Assassins and Templars. The series has historically put a strong emphasis on exploring different cultures and eras, with previous titles set in places like Renaissance Italy, Colonial America, and Ancient Egypt. The addition of two characters with distinct playstyles – a stealthy ninja and a powerful samurai – reflects the series' dedication to diversity in gameplay experiences. Yasuke, being based on a real historical figure, suggests that the game will continue the series' tradition of weaving historical facts with its fictional lore. Excitement for the release of gameplay footage and further details about the setting and interactions with historical figures is highly anticipated by the fanbase.
