Ubisoft has revealed that Assassin’s Creed: Shadows will be released on November 15, 2024. Gamers can look forward to playing it on various platforms, such as Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 5, Windows PC, and Apple Silicon Macs.
Setting and Customization
Set in Japan, the game allows players to customize numerous elements. The official PlayStation Weibo account dropped the world premiere trailer, showcasing a gripping historical adventure in Japan. Players will take on the roles of two unique characters – a lethal ninja assassin and a formidable warrior – who must unite for a shared destiny. The game features a mix of action and stealth, offering players the chance to master various combat techniques, personalize their ninja hideout, and influence historical events.
Open World and Technical Enhancements
Ubisoft touts a vast open world brimming with life. The game promises diverse landscapes that change with the seasons, including lively port cities, peaceful shrines, extensive castle towns, and picturesque countrysides. Reports indicate that the game uses an upgraded Anvil Pipeline engine, which improves animations, the parkour system, and dynamic weather effects. This engine is also speculated to support advanced visual technologies like ray tracing and global illumination.
Base-Building Elements
In addition to stealth and combat, Assassin’s Creed: Shadows incorporates base-building components. Players can create their own hideouts, featuring armories for storing weapons, dojos for practicing combat, churches (with an unspecified role), and other functional buildings.
