Assassin’s Creed Shadows Preview: Series Feels Refreshed in Japan
In contrast to previous Assassin’s Creed games that featured multiple protagonists, the pair in Shadows presents an unprecedented difference. One is Yasuke, a former slave transformed into a samurai, who can bust through doors with a powerful shoulder charge instead of just opening them. He’s a massive character, delivering heavy blows, but not particularly agile. Unlike other Assassin’s Creed games that emphasize stealth, this one offers a unique gaming experience because Yasuke doesn’t climb buildings easily or move around stealthily. Instead, it plays more like For Honor as you charge into battles, ready to confront any enemies head-on.
