Set in 16th century Japan, the upcoming title follows the intertwined stories of Naoe, an adept shinobi Assassin from the Iga Province, and Yasuke, the powerful samurai of historical legend.

With Naoe and Yasuke, Assassin’s Creed Shadows gives players the chance to master two complementary playstyles that covers two separate progression paths, skills, weapon options, and stats. Naoe is all about stealth with refined infiltration skills using light, noise, shadows, and changing surroundings to avoid enemies, while Yasuke has the capacity to face larger groups on enemies head-on with brutal precision.

Players will get to build their own spies' network to unveil new areas and hunt down targets. There will also be highly skilled allies to help during missions and a customizable hideout where players can train their crew and call home.

Assassin’s Creed Shadows also invites players to explore the vast open world with its variety of landscapes—from spectacular castle towns and bustling ports to peaceful shrines—evolving through weather and different seasons.

The first gameplay trailer of Assassin’s Creed Shadows will be revealed in June.

Assassin's Creed Shadows is set to launch on PC, Xbox Series X|S, PS5, and PS4.
