Ubisoft has announced that Assassin’s Creed Shadows is launching worldwide on November 15 for PS5, Xbox Series, Amazon Luna, Mac, and PC via the Ubisoft Store and Epic Games Store.

Assassin’s Creed Shadows introduces Naoe, an adept Shinobi Assassin hailing from the Iga Province, and Yasuke, the powerful samurai of historical legend. As players delve into their personal narratives, they will encounter pivotal historical figures and play a role in shaping the duo’s shared destiny as they usher in a new era for Japan.

Each character offers distinct playstyles, each with its own progression paths, skills, weapon options, and stats. Whether players choose to embrace Naoe’s stealth abilities or Yasuke’s combat prowess, they’ll have multiple approaches to achieving their objectives.

Naoe’s gameplay focuses on refined infiltration mechanics, utilizing light, noise, shadows, and environmental changes to avoid enemy detection. In contrast, Yasuke excels at taking on larger groups of foes with brutal precision.

In Assassin’s Creed Shadows, players will establish their own spy network to uncover new areas and track down targets. Additionally, they can recruit allies with specialized skills and abilities to assist during missions.
