Even though it hasn’t even been released yet, the game has caused a lot of controversy. Fans went wild when they found out that the release date had been moved from November 12, 2024 to February 14, 2025. As if that wasn’t enough, Ubisoft drove fans crazy once again when it postponed the release of one of the most anticipated games yet again. game this year.

If they don’t delay the release of the game again, the latest Assassin’s Creed should be available on October 20. But it’s not only the numerous delays that have stuck with žulj fans who čwait for a new title from 2023 and Assassins Creed Mirage. Immediately after the release of the first trailer and details about the game on social networks, there were big discussions about the characters in the game.

Namely, the game follows the adventures of two characters in feudal Japan, samurai Yasuke and ninja Naoa. Controversies arose around Yasuke, a slave from Mozambique who arrived in Japan in 1579 as part of Jesus’ mission.

Certain fans became enraged at Ubisoft’s decision to make the main protagonist a black Samurai rather than an ethnic Japanese. Even historians and anthropologists got involved in the arguments about the choice of character. Fans who are not thrilled with the choice of Yasuke have accused Ubisoft of promoting the Woke agenda.

But let’s put ideological arguments aside and take a look at what we know about Assassins Creed: Shadows.

Assassin’s Creed Shadows will be available on PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X. Unfortunately, the game will not be available for PS4 and Xbox One. It won’t be on Nintendo Switch either.

Pre-orders for Assassin’s Creed Shadows are still available, but the question is how meaningful they are given that Ubisoft has announced that it is working on changes to the game and will refund all users who pre-ordered the game.

If you decide to pre-order, the price for PC is 58.42 euros. The pre-order price for PS5 and Xbox Series X is 68 euros. The Gold edition costs 107 euros, and the Ultimate edition costs 126.58 euros.

The collector’s version, in addition to the game itself, also includes figurines of Yasuke and Naoe, a map of feudal Japan, lithographs and an art book. Unlike the PS5 and Xbox Series X editions which will be available on CD, the PC version will not be on CD but you can get the game via a download code.

Trailer released now andć back on May 15, 2024, he gave us the first glimpse of the game. Ubisoft envisioned Yasuke as a traditional samurai with heavy armor and a direct approach, while Naoe was envisioned as a silent assassin from the shadows.

Yasuke belongs to the Oda clan led by the legendary Japanese samurai and leader Oda Nobunaga. Naoružan with the traditional samurai club kanabo and of course, the katana.

Yasuke is a big and strong samurai and definitely not your choice if you are looking for a traditional AC protagonist.

Unlike him, Naoe is everything that we are used to from Ubisoft. It operates from the shadows and quietly liquidates opponents to protect its province of Iga, which is located on the largest Japanese island, Honshu.

She is not as physically strong as Yasuke, but she is an expert at sneaking and operating from the shadows. Like other famous serial killers, he has a blade on his wrist. With the help of grippers can travel long distances and quickly disappear from the scene if detected.

In the manner of true AC protagonists, her movement is light, agile and graceful.

Shadows is actually a fusion of old and new Assassin’s Creed. The game allows gamers to combine between both fighting styles. Fans will be able to choose which protagonist they want to play with before the start of most main missions.

Don’t worry, if you get fed up with one character, you can switch to another, similar to Assassin’s Creed Syndicate.

The action is set during the Azuchi-Momoyama period, which lasted from 1568 to 1600. Ubisoft announced that they paid a lot of attention to the details of the landscape, so it will take you a long time to explore feudal Japan.

Unlike previous AC titles where you unlocked parts of the map by climbing towers and lookouts with the protagonist, here the map is unlocked as you explore it. Interestingly, in the game you will have your own scouts that you can send to unexplored parts of the map.

Ubisoft paid special attention to details. You will also have to pay attention to the weather conditions, which change dynamically and affect the course of the campaign itself.

Ubisoft has gone so far that you can even use thunder to sneak around unnoticed. Interestingly, the same NPCs will not experience Yasuke and Naoe in the same way. While some will aggressively oppose the ninja, they will run away from Yasuke with their heads regardless.

Director Brooke Davies also revealed an interesting detail while answering fan questions on Reddit.

– Assassin’s Creed Shadows is also about creating a family. Naoe and Yasuke will be able to form friendly and romantic relationships with other characters – revealed Davies.

Let’s hope that the game that was announced back in 2022 under the title: Assassin’s Creed Codename Red really comes out at the end of March and that Ubisoft had good reasons for numerous delays.
