How Assassin’s Creed Shadows Will Blend Two Distinct Adventures in One

Ubisoft kicked off their 2024 preview conference with a bang, showcasing a thrilling 13-minute gameplay demonstration for Assassin's Creed: Shadow. Set against the backdrop of Japan's Warring States period, the game feels like a journey, with dual characters and various combat options.

Players can play as skilled ninjas and powerful samurais
Players take on the roles of both a skilled ninja and a powerful samurai, offering a new approach to combat in the series. This flexibility allows you to choose between the stealthy maneuvers favored by the ninja or the direct, head-on approach of the samurai.

The gameplay maintains the signature blend of open-world exploration, street brawls, and strategic stealth mechanics. The video shows how NPCs react differently to your chosen character; The crowds disperse in fear of the samurai, bowing respectfully as they pass.

Ubisoft highlighted the main concept of the game: “Two different assassins, two completely different combat modes! Choose a path to achieve your goals at will and write a new legend in the Japanese Warring States period!”

Assassin's Creed: Shadow is set to release on November 15, 2024, across PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S and PC platforms. According to reports, the game's availability on Mac and iPad is due to information revealed at Apple's WWDC24 conference. This broad platform reach extends the Assassin's Creed experience to a wider audience.
