Assassin's Creed Shadows takes place in 16th century Japan during the Azuchi-Momoyama period. In this game, you will experience the intertwined stories of Naoe and Yasuke. Set against the backdrop of the turbulent late Sengoku period, this duo will discover their shared destiny as they usher in a new era for Japan.
As Yasuke, players will attack their enemies with brutal precision and power. You must use his combat oriented skills to attack, block, parry and defeat your enemies. In addition, you will be able to master the large arsenal of weapons at your disposal - including katana, kanabo, bows, naginata and more.
As Naoe, players will use noise, light and shadows to avoid detection while enemies react to their changing surroundings. You'll be able to distract guards using kunai, shuriken and smoke grenades, infiltrate enemy bases with your grappling hook and parkour skills, and assassinate your targets with the hidden blade.
The game promises to have spectacular castle towns, bustling ports, peaceful sanctuaries and rural landscapes. Ubisoft also claims that AC: Shadows will have unpredictable weather, changing seasons and reactive environments.
Ubisoft will release Assassin's Creed Shadows on November 15th. Also, the game will not require a mandatory internet connection to play. In other words, it will be playable in offline mode.
