Fans have been asking for an Assassin’s Creed game in samurai-era Japan since the series began. Now, it seems Ubisoft has finally given in. Assassin’s Creed Shadows, the next entry in the long-running historical stealth-action game series, will take players back to Feudal Japan. Expect samurais, shinobis, shoguns, and lots of unassuming guards getting stabbed by katanas. It seems strange that it has taken Ubisoft this long to finally make an Assassin’s Creed game with a Japanese setting – the series has been going on for two decades now and we’ve been everywhere from the American colonies to ancient Egypt.
When Is Assassin’s Creed Shadows Set?
In the announcement live stream, Ubisoft showed off a new cinematic trailer and afterward gave us another video where the developers went into more detail about the game’s two protagonists. On top of that, loads of information about the game’s combat, stealth, and exploration have been revealed.
