What is Assassin’s Creed Shadows?

Part of Ubisoft’s Assassin’s Creed series, Assassin’s Creed Shadows drops you into feudal Japan. If you’re curious how the new game will tie into the Assassin-Templar conflict, you’re not alone. We’re eager to see how Japan’s transition from a pre-modern to early modern society weaves into the historical narrative that’s built up over the last 13 games.

While the setting is new, you can trust that Assassin’s Creed Shadows will bring the classic action-adventure gameplay that made the series a hit… along with some new gameplay features tied to light and shadow. 

Don’t take our word for it, though; check out the Assassin’s Creed Shadows trailer below.

New Assassin’s Creed Shadows gameplay features

Assassin’s Creed Shadows gameplay takes stealth to a new level with:

• The ability to hide in shadows.
• A light meter indicating how well hidden you are.
• Destroying light sources to create darkness.
• Dynamic lighting and environment interactions.
• A season system that brings environmental changes.

You’ll also find a grappling hook for dynamic movement and a range of historically accurate weapons, from expected weapons like katana swords and tanto daggers to the sickle-and-weighted-chain weapon of the kusarigama.
