ForShadows, with the dual protagonist approach, it seemed obvious.
It was a core thing that we put on the whiteboard early on, and its still up there.

Yasuke and Naoe, the dual protagonists of ‘Assassin’s Creed Shadows’Ubisoft
And it was clear that there are two archetypes that really stood out.
And for players that lovedValhallaandOriginsandOdyssey(2018), theres some continuity in there.
We attempt to cater to both.
It felt necessary, however, to switch to Yasuke for the more difficult, NPC-heavy battles.
Even with just a few hours of experience, this feels like the most technically impressiveAssassins Creedtitle ever.
Sure enough, raindrops soon began ricocheting off of Naoes hood as she snuck through a shrine.
It goes for depth much more than breadth, Lemay-Comtois assures me.
I think it pays off in the end.

Assassins Creed Shadowsis unexpectedly impressive.
From day one were working with historians and consultants and researchers and experts, she says.
But what about the people insisting that Ubisoft has ignored Japans history to push some sort of woke agenda?
I would say theres a little vindication I think the team wants.
We know how Naoe is important.
Its not Naoes game, its not Yasukes game, its both of these characters games.
And I think were going to surprise damn near everyone who puts their hands on it.
