Ubisoft has finally unveiled the first official trailer for the highly anticipated new game, Assassin’s Creed Shadows! Alongside the trailer, the release date for the game has also been revealed. Here are the details!
The 4-minute trailer for Assassin’s Creed Shadows suggests that it will be a bloody game. One of the characters introduced in the trailer is Yasuke, the first recorded black samurai in Japanese history. The inclusion of Yasuke, who served as the protector of Oda Nobunaga, is significant in shedding light on an often overlooked aspect of Japanese history. Alongside Yasuke is Naoe, a more traditional Japanese character and, of course, an assassin. The duo finds themselves immersed in a deep and intricate story set in Feudal Japan, where conflict and intrigue abound.
The period in which Assassin’s Creed Shadows is set is quite impressive. From what we can gather from the trailer, the game will take place on a map themed around Kansai. As Yasuke and Naoe confront the Templars, players will be drawn into a story focused on the complexities of trust, betrayal, and loyalty.
What sets Assassin’s Creed Shadows apart is its focus on the relationship between Yasuke and Naoe. Initially rivals, the two characters are forced to learn to trust each other as they come together against a common enemy. Particularly, Yasuke’s journey of navigating a world vastly different from his own promises to be deeply engaging.
The release date for Assassin’s Creed Shadows, inadvertently leaked by Ubisoft earlier this week, has also been confirmed with the new trailer: November 15, 2024. It’s worth noting that the game is being developed by the team behind Assassin’s Creed Odyssey.
In addition to the trailer, Ubisoft has also shared a separate character introduction video. You can watch it above. What are your thoughts? Please share your opinions in the comments below.
