About This Game
Assassin's Creed Shadows, released on March 20, 2025, takes players to 16th-century feudal Japan during the tumultuous late Sengoku period. The game's narrative revolves around the historical power struggle between the Assassin Brotherhood, advocating for freedom and peace, and the Templar Order, seeking peace through control. This conflict is experienced through the perspectives of two protagonists: Naoe: A fictional kunoichi (female shinobi) from the Iga Province, trained by her renowned shinobi father, Fujibayashi Nagato. Her story focuses on revenge for the destruction of her village and protecting her people from the encroaching war and corruption. Naoe embodies the stealthy assassin archetype, utilizing a grappling hook, her pivoting Hidden Blade, and other shinobi tools to navigate and infiltrate enemy strongholds. Yasuke: An African man who becomes a powerful samurai in the service of the historical figure Oda Nobunaga, based on the real-life historical figure. Yasuke’s story explores themes of adaptation, purpose, and loyalty as he confronts the demons of his past and navigates the complexities of Japanese society and Nobunaga's unification efforts. He offers a contrasting gameplay style, excelling in direct combat and wielding a variety of samurai weapons like the katana, kanabo, and even arquebus rifles.
