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.
I played some, stayed as Naoe unless forced not too. She should have been sole protagonist; Yasuke is a walking dei check. At least she is Japanese and a ninja, which is much closer to an assassin than a samurai is. They have a big fat sumo lady, which I am pretty sure they didn’t have those days lol. They could care less about Japanese culture, and it shows. Sucks as I loved the AC games, Kassandra is my favorite. I know it’s not as assassin like as the earlier games. But she was a badass, and I love Greek Mythology. They care more about their agenda than the actual game or about making money, so it’s on them if they keep flushing down money in return for woke points.
