Assassin’s Creed Shadows will come out on March 20, but there’s already news about a prequel manga. This game, crafted by Ubisoft Quebec, marks the 14th entry in the series and takes place in feudal Japan. Although the release is just weeks away, Ubisoft has released plenty of gameplay clips to build excitement among fans. Some YouTubers and streamers have had the chance to play it early, and their reactions have been a bit mixed.
Manga Announcement
The official Assassin’s Creed account shared the news about the manga on X. It will serve as a prequel to the Assassin’s Creed Shadows story, focusing on “a young Assassin apprentice” and her battle against the Templar order in Japan. The manga will first debut in Japan when the game launches, before making its way to other regions. As previously mentioned, the game is set to launch on March 20, although it’s already faced two delays.
Previous Release Dates
Initially, the game was slated for a November 12, 2024 release, but it was moved to February 14 this year. Ubisoft stated that the postponement was to offer players a more polished experience. They also faced criticism regarding certain historical inaccuracies and inappropriate promotional images. In January, the company revealed that the launch would be pushed back a few weeks to incorporate feedback from the community and to “ensure an even more ambitious and engaging day-one experience.”
