Ubisoft is set to release Assassin’s Creed Shadows in November 2025, fulfilling fans' long-standing request for a full game set in feudal Japan.
The game is set in 16th-century Japan during the late Sengoku period, offering potential for authentic landscapes, intricate social dynamics, and stealth-focused gameplay.
Assassin’s Creed Shadows features two playable characters: Yasuke, an African samurai, and Naoe, a female shinobi, providing players with different playstyles.
The introduction of these characters and the historical setting has generated both excitement and caution among fans, waiting to see if Shadows will be a hit or another missed opportunity.
