Jonathan Dumont, creative director of Assassin's Creed Shadows, provides insight into the backstory of Naoe, one of the two main characters.
It's now less than two months until Assassin's Creed Shadows is released. Little by little, details about gameplay and game mechanics are becoming known. In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, creative director Jonathan Dumont now reports new information about the backstory of the main character Naoe.
“She was shielded by her father from what was happening in the world and the protective shield suddenly bursts. She doesn't know much about her origins. Her father trained her, but she doesn't know much about her mother, who wasn't with her. But as a cool Japanese saying goes: A frog in a well knows nothing about the sea.”
So while revenge is the original motivator for the young fighter, her journey also makes her appreciate all the values her father has taught her over the years.
She has a desire to make the world around her a happier one and dreams of a better future for Japan. This leads, among other things, to encounters with a child named Junjiro, whose backstory is initially unknown.
How the Templars, the Brotherhood's rivals, are linked to all of this is not yet revealed. From February 14th at the latest, you can explore this story and a few others, like Yasuke's, for yourself.
