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

Ubisoft has confirmed that Assassin's Creed Shadows won't require an online 
connection at all times. 

In a new X / Twitter post shared today (May 16), the publisher confirmed that 
although players will need an internet connection to install the next 
Assassin's Creed title, one isn't necessary for playing the game. 

"We wanted to share some early information on the upcoming launch of 
Assassin's Creed Shadows , following some questions we've noticed in the 
community," Ubisoft said. 

" Assassin's Creed Shadows will not require a mandatory connection at all 
times. An online connection will be needed to install the game, but you will 
be able to play the entire journey offline, and explore Japan without any 
online connection." 

Although Ubisoft didn't mention it, the game is expected to receive a season 
pass and two post-launch expansions, which will presumably require an 
internet connection to install, too. An update from the team on Assassin's

The clarification comes just one day after the the publisher released the 
first cinematic trailer for Assassin's Creed Shadows , which showcased the 
game's long-awaited Feudal Japan setting, alongside its official launch date 
of November 15. 

The upcoming action-adventure game will also see the series revisit a two 
playable protagonists system. This time, players will get to play as Naoe, a 
shinobi and the fictional daughter of the famous historical ninja leader 
Fujibayashi Nagato, as well as the real-life historical figure Yasuke, 
asamurai of African origin who first arrived in the country in 1579. 

We've also learned that Shadows will be open-world, which Ubisoft has said is 
roughly the same size of Origins , feature a new knockout mechanic that will 
allow an optional pacifist playthrough , as well as changing seasons that 
affect gameplay . 

 Assassin's Creed Shadows is coming to PlayStation 5 , Xbox Series , Xbox 
Series S, Amazon Luna, and PC. Pre-orders are currently available online. You
