Description:
The new Assassin's Creed Shadows cinematic trailer confirms the game's 
release date as well as sets up the story and the playable protagonists.

FULL STORY
======================================================================

The Assassin's Creed Shadows cinematic trailer has dropped and it shows an 
epic adventure of action, shadowy darkness, and dual protagonists across 
feudal 16th-century Japan. 

Previously known as Assassin's Creed Red , and the latest in a long line for 
the blockbuster game series from Ubisoft, it's a setting and game that many 
Assassin's Creed have been waiting a long time for. 

It'll look to stake its own place among the best Assassin's Creed games by 
offering players the chance to step into the two protagonists, Naoe and 
Yasuke's, and use both characters' complementary skills, abilities, and 
playstyles while traversing across that breathtaking Japanese landscape. 

To see it all for yourself, check out the video in full below. 

Ubisoft has confirmed that the game will be played through the "intertwined 
stories" of the dual protagonists with Naoe offering a stealthy assassin 
character and style, while Yasuke offers a focus on head-on combat and 
tank-like abilities. 

Throughout the trailer we see cinematic shots and examples of both their 
areas of expertise and focus; be that from Naoe's use of a grappling hook to 
sneak up the wall of a fortress, and her throwing stars, or Yasuke's brute 
force and strength using heavy weapons on a number of enemies to devastating 
effectiveness. 

Beady-eyed fans will notice some trademark Assassin's Creed -isms such as 
Naoe's hood, while I personally found the hidden blade being used at a right 
angle, a cool, new take on the iconic weapon. 

Assassin's Creed Shadows will release from the darkness on November 15, 2024, 
and is coming to PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, PC, Amazon Luna, and Mac.
