Assassin’s Creed Shadows Set for March 2025 Release

The delays happened as Ubisoft is making sure that the game may launch smoothly without any disruption and may provide fans with a worthy installment.

The game plot is set in the era of feudal Japan, and there will be two protagonists, Naoe and Yasuke, and through them, players will move forward in the story. Both characters offer different styles that can be enjoyed by players of all types.

Naoe is more focused on stealth and speed, the core gaming style of the Assassin’s Creed series, while Yasuke is going to be a samurai. However, the developers are building thrill among the community by revealing certain details previously shared about Naoe and Yasuke, which makes both of them different.

In the last week company mentioned that the game will be more player-driven and they will be able to explore the map thoroughly.

Now, the story trailer has finally been released, showcasing the dark and gruesome gameplay, displaying Naoe at the start.

It proceeds further while portraying the evil world of Assassin’s Creed Shadows, where the lords are in favor of war out of their greediness, and then the story moves towards the Yasuke and his journey of becoming a samurai. Their fates have been combined and destiny will determine which direction they’ll be heading.

The trailer is brimming with intense action, emotions, and fighting, all the blood and swords giving off the vibes of a true era of war and chaos. The story has used impactful dialogues like “Blood for Blood” and more. While we don’t know much about rest of the in-game cast and their impact on the story.
