Hold onto your katanas, Assassin’s Creed Shadows is slicing in later this year.

After years of countless requests from the community, Ubisoft is finally giving us a proper Creed game set in feudal Japan. This one sees the return of dual protagonists – a fictional stealth-focused character name Naoe, and a combat-focused African Samurai named Yasuke (who is based on an actual historical figure). The dual protagonists should come as no surprise since Shadows is developed by Ubisoft Quebec, the same studio behind Syndicate and Odyssey.
I’m sprinkling my optimism with a healthy dose of Ubisalt™, but I have to say I am excited to see how this one turns out. Having two separate characters for stealth and combat appears to be, at least on paper, a good response to the general criticism that the recent series entries have strayed too far from the core assassin gameplay of the legacy titles (Mirage not withstanding). And the setting should at least be more interesting than the terribly bland Valhalla. I missed Syndicate, but Odyssey was easily the best AC title I've played in years, so hopefully they can replicate that success here.
