Assassin’s Creed Shadows is set to shape its world upon release while also introducing a highly anticipated new feature to the license. It’s the fans who should be excited about the news.
It is highly anticipated and has been in the news a lot lately: Assassin’s Creed Shadows, formerly known by the code name Redwill be released at the end of the year on PS5, Xbox Series and PC. The game is intended to create an event on many levels. Not only because it is the new major part of the license after Valhalla, but also and above all because it contains a lot of new features.
Assassin’s Creed Shadows could change everything
Assassin’s Creed Shadows is determined to give the license a boost. Firstly, it opts for feudal Japan, an era that fans have longed for for many, many years. It is also the first Assassin’s Creed to introduce a historical main character who actually existed, although the details of his life remain quite mysterious and so there will be some liberties taken.
It’s about Yasuke, a former slave who became a samurai. The game also promises a real return to basics with real infiltration! And this is thanks to Naoe, the second heroine of this opus, who loves to lurk in the shadows and allows us to use new movements that are again eagerly awaited by fans, such as the possibility of crawling or turning off the light. Rarely, if not never, seen in an Assassin’s Creed.
A highly anticipated new feature that will revitalize the license
Assassin’s Creed Shadows is not content with reviving a recipe that we have known for a very, very long time, but should also launch a major novelty for the license, the famous AC Infinity, now known as Animus Hub. It is a hub that has been announced for some time and should soon be available, possibly with Shadows, and would bring together the entire Assassin’s Creed universe. The idea is to create a real universe and connect all the games in the franchise so that players can navigate easily and quickly, but also get some bonuses. A feature that can also be found in other games such as Battlefield or Call of Duty.
It was Marc Alexis Côté, Executive Producer at Ubisoft, who set the tone in the Game File columns. The man claims that the famous Animus Hub has changed its name but will keep all the functionalities originally planned and that it will be deployed soon. No date has been set yet, but it has been confirmed that it is ready and on schedule for the release of Assassin’s Creed Shadows. Either at the same time or shortly before. We hope all goes well, delays are common at Ubisoft.
We will see ! Assassin’s Creed Shadows will be released on November 12th for PS5, Xbox Series and PC.
