Assassin’s Creed Shadows Revealed: Unveiling Dual Samurai & Ninja Gameplay!

The next game in the Assassin’s Creed franchise is almost here, Ubisoft just released the first trailer for the Assassin’s Creed Shadows, which will be launching later this year.

The trailer is pretty gory for a world premiere, and it takes its time to introduce the dual protagonists. The first one was the Samurai known as Yasuke, an African man who became a retainer in service to the Japanese legendary warlord Oda Nobunaga.

The second protagonist is Naoe, a shinobi who stands in opposition to Oda’s war and initially pits her against Yasuke.

It was rumored that Assassin’s Creed Shadows would feature two protagonists.

Since 2022, Assassin’s Creed Shadows has been known by its codename, Assassin’s Creed Red. Earlier this week, Ubisoft announced the formal name change in addition to the forthcoming trailer. Red / Shadows was initially revealed as a part of Ubisoft’s Assassin’s Creed roadmap, which also featured other in-development titles in the franchise, including Assassin’s Creed Jade and Codename Hexe.

In the trailer, Ubisoft has just teased the game and has not yet revealed any details of what Yasuke’s or Naoe’s gameplay will be like. But we won’t have to wait for long as Assassin’s Creed Shadows will be launching on Xbox, PlayStation, PC, and Mac on November 15th.
