About Assassin's Creed Shadows
Assassin's Creed Shadows is an open-world action RPG developed by Ubisoft Quebec and published by Ubisoft. It was released on March 20, 2025, for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S, with a Nintendo Switch 2 version following on December 2, 2025. It is the fourteenth main entry in the Assassin's Creed franchise, the successor to Assassin's Creed Mirage (2023), and the first game in the series built exclusively for current-generation hardware.
The story takes place in Japan during the late Sengoku period, a time of prolonged civil war and political upheaval across the country's feudal domains. Players alternate between two protagonists whose paths are intertwined throughout the campaign. Fujibayashi Naoe is a kunoichi trained in the shinobi traditions of Iga Province who sets out on a personal quest for revenge following a traumatic event that upends her world. Yasuke is a powerful African samurai, based on the historical figure who served under Oda Nobunaga in the 1580s, seeking to confront the demons of his past and find a new purpose in an unfamiliar land. Their contrasting backgrounds and motivations gradually converge as both are drawn into the Assassin Brotherhood's broader struggle against the Templar Order.
The dual protagonist system shapes how the open world is engaged. Naoe is the faster and more mobile of the two, built around stealth, parkour, and precision assassination using kunai, shuriken, smoke bombs, a grappling hook, and the hidden blade. Light, shadow, and noise all affect detection, and enemies actively respond to changes in their environment. Yasuke is a direct contrast, a heavily built warrior focused on head-on combat through powerful sword strikes, defensive counters, and the ability to absorb and deal significant damage in prolonged fights. Neither character can do what the other does, and switching between them is built into how the game approaches missions and side content.
The open world depicts a range of historical Japanese environments, including castle towns, temples, mountain passes, bamboo forests, and coastal ports, with dynamic weather and seasonal systems affecting visibility, enemy behavior, and traversal across all regions. A hideout system lets players develop and upgrade a base of operations, recruiting allies and unlocking new support options throughout the campaign.
Post-launch content included several Story Drops adding new quests featuring both new and returning characters, alongside a full paid expansion, Claws of Awaji. A final major update was released on June 16, 2026, bringing the game's active development to a close. Assassin's Creed Shadows holds a Metacritic score of 79.

No. Assassin's Creed Shadows is a standalone story set in feudal Japan with entirely new characters. No knowledge of previous entries is required to follow or enjoy the game, though the broader Assassin Brotherhood and Templar conflict is a recurring framework familiar to series veterans.
Naoe is built for stealth, using parkour, the hidden blade, and a range of tools to navigate environments quietly and eliminate targets without detection. Yasuke is a combat-focused warrior who fights head-on using powerful melee attacks and defensive counters. Each character has their own skill trees and playstyle, and the game is designed to be approached with both rather than favoring one exclusively.
The standard purchase includes the base game and all free post-launch Story Drops. The Claws of Awaji paid expansion is sold separately and is not included with the standard edition.
A focused playthrough of the main story takes roughly 30 to 40 hours. Players who engage with the full range of side content, faction quests, and open-world activities can expect significantly more playtime across the game's feudal Japan map.
