Today is the day! Ubisoft’s Assassin’s Creed Shadows is now available to play on PC, PS5, and XBOX.
In previous editions of the immensely popular Assassin’s Creed series, your assassin has traveled to the far corners of the world in seemingly endless historical eras. This time you are transported to ancient Japan and take on the roles of not one, but two very different characters in pursuit of a common goal.
In Ubisoft’s own words:
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.
Check out the official launch trailer:
But that’s not all we get with this launch. Here’s a peek at the Red Bull Athletes attempting to recreate the seemingly impossible ninja leaps, spins, and (surprisingly survivable) falls Naoe undertakes in the game, including the iconic Leap of Faith. Warning: Don’t try this at home. All actions performed by professionals.
Assassin’s Creed Shadows is available now on PC, PS5, and XBOX.
