Assassin’s Creed Shadows takes place in 16th century Japan during the Azuchi-Momoyama era. Players will play as two distinct characters, a Japanese shinobi, Naoe, and – in a series first – a real-life historical samurai, Yasuke.

Game Director Charles Benoit and Associate Narrative Director Brooke Davies dive deep into who these characters are, how they differ from a gameplay and narrative perspective, and why they were the perfect fit for Assassin’s Creed Shadows.

About Assassin’s Creed Shadows:
In Assassin’s Creed Shadows, you will live the intertwined stories of Naoe, an adept shinobi Assassin from Iga Province, and Yasuke, the powerful African samurai of historical legend. Against the backdrop of the turbulent late Sengoku period, this remarkable duo will discover their common destiny as they usher in a new era for Japan.

From chaos to purpose, from darkness to light. A new Creed rises over Japan.

    Ubi has balls of steel for asking people to pre-order their game without showing ANY gameplay.

    UBI: "We can't have both of shinobi and a samurai in one character." Jin Sakai: "Hold my sake."

    黒人を武器にして他国の歴史を攻撃して、反撃されたら黒人差別を盾にして誤魔化す。 これ黒人はどう思ってるの?

    “We blend in the shadows” says the towering 6’5” black man during the medieval Japan. That’s insane

    結局日本人に対する意識なんてこんなものか 日本人侍でアサクリをプレイしたかったのに…
  • @user-fk3zu7lk4w
    Cherry blossoms blooming in spring and silver grass growing in autumn exist simultaneously in the village landscape. That alone shows that UBI has not studied Japan at all.

    Ubisoft be like "you can't be a samurai and a ninja at the same time because muh historic accuracy" and then they'll make you fight onis and spirits while riding dragons.

    弥助が街中で鎧を着て闊歩していてもいい、雷を戦闘で使ってもいい、周りの身長が低く、目立ち、先頭に立って戦うのにアサシンを自称していても構わない。 問題なのは史実を元にしていると明言したこと。
  • @user-tr3us1jk4e
    UBI「日本人ではない私たちの目になれる人物を探してた」 やはりとんでもない日本差別主義者でしたね
  • @gochannel2212
    どこかの活動家の日本人教授が関わっていて、日本人は皆弥助が好きと言っていたらしいが、殆どの日本人は弥助を知らないし好きなのは織田信長などの武将です。 弥助は武将ではないです。
