Assassin's Creed Shadows: Dual Protagonists Navigate the Paths of Assassin and Samurai in Feudal Japan

The upcoming installment of the well-known video game franchise is poised to embark players on an adventure into Feudal Japan, marking a significant shift in the series. Assassin's Creed Shadows promises to offer a fresh experience that fans have been eagerly anticipating. With unique features and gameplay elements, Ubisoft is aiming to make this entry stand out from its predecessors.

A remarkable element of this game is the duality of the protagonists. Players will have the opportunity to embody two distinct characters: one who embodies the traits of an assassin and another who does not. In a recent discussion, a developer shed light on the character of Yasuke, revealing that he does not possess the traditional skills associated with assassins. Yasuke collaborates with Naoe, the other main character, who embraces the assassin's way of life. However, Yasuke's approach is markedly different, aligning more with that of a samurai.

Unlike typical assassins, Yasuke will lack certain abilities such as Eagle Vision. His combat style is characterized by engaging directly in battles rather than employing stealth tactics like Naoe.

This divergence in playstyle raises an intriguing question for players: which character will you choose to guide through this immersive experience? As the game prepares for its release, the anticipation grows, with Assassin's Creed Shadows set to launch on the 20th day of March for personal computers, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S.
