Take out your katana and hide in the shadows in Assassin’s Creed Shadows
We open this summary with a title that, without a doubt, surprises everyone. As you already know, the saga Assassin’s Creed visits 16th century Japan for the first time with Shadows of Assassin’s Creed. In the new trailer presented we can see Yasuke and Naoe cooperate with each other to carry out missions, each very different depending on the protagonist we control. Samurai gameplay is more action-oriented with very violent melee combat, while shinobi will choose the path of stealth, infiltration and agility. The latter will even be able to swing between trees with a hook or crouch in the grass to be almost undetectable, among other abilities.
