Assassin’s Creed: Shadows is a 2025 action-adventure RPG developed by Ubisoft Quebec, released on March 20 for PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC. Set in feudal Japan, players control dual protagonists: Naoe, a stealth-focused shinobi, and Yasuke, a historical African samurai emphasizing combat. The open-world game features a dynamic environment with seasons, weather, and destructible elements, centered around castle towns, ports, and shrines. Gameplay includes stealth, parkour, and melee combat, with a skill tree and customizable gear. The story follows Naoe and Yasuke’s intertwined missions against a new threat, taking 30-40 hours for the main campaign, with 60-80 hours for side content. Players can switch between characters, and the game supports solo play with accessibility options and no microtransactions.

It is actually very woke; The main character is a black person that Ubisoft tried to convinced us he actually exited using sources that don’t even exited or even created a short time ago and put it in Wikipedia by a person who changed his name after. It feels very forced with this false inclusivity. They (Ubisoft) pushed so hard these stupid messages with people who didn’t perform well developing that resulted in a boring, repetitive and full of w*oke shit like body possitive, body type 1 and 2 instead male and female that really #### up the whole game. Not to mention was full of bugs and has poor combat and AI mechanincs.
