Thank you to Ubisoft for sending me a review code, but since we got them late, I didn't have time to finish the game. Shadows is not a terrible game. In fact, it does some things quite well, but in my humble opinion, Ubisoft played it far too safe. A decade ago, this game would have been great, but this is 2025. The competitiion has caught up and passed this historic franchise.
Assassin's Creed Shadows is an upcoming action role-playing game (RPG) set in 16th-century Japan, where players take on the roles of a shinobi assassin and a samurai to usher in a new era for the country:
Setting
The game takes place during the late Sengoku period, when the warlord Oda Nobunaga overthrew the Ashikaga shogunate. Players explore a beautiful open world that includes castle towns, ports, shrines, and landscapes.
Characters
Players take on the roles of Naoe, a female shinobi assassin from Iga Province, and Yasuke, an African samurai based on a real-life historical figure. The two characters have different playstyles, skill trees, and weapons, and players can approach quests in multiple ways.
Gameplay
Players can explore, create a shinobi league, customize a hideout, and build up a spy network. The game features a non-linear campaign with targets that can be tracked in any order. Some targets can be stumbled upon organically, while others require more structured infiltration gameplay.
Release
Assassin's Creed Shadows is scheduled for release on February 14, 2025 for PlayStation 5, Windows, Xbox Series X/S, macOS, and iPadOS.
