Assassin’s Creed: Shadows

In Assassin’s Creed Shadows, you step into Feudal Japan and live out your ultimate Samurai or Shinobi fantasy. The game lets you pick between two distinct playstyles—do you want to be a stealthy Shinobi, walking across rooftops with a grappling hook and taking out enemies with slick parkour skills? Or maybe you’re feeling a badass Samurai, charging straight into the fight with raw power and precision. The world you’ll explore is just as impressive as your combat options with sprawling castle towns filled with intrigue, vibrant ports buzzing with life, serene shrines tucked away in the mountains, and gorgeous countryside landscapes.

Developers: Ubisoft Quebec | Publishers: Ubisoft | Release Date: Mar 20, 2025 | Platforms: PlayStation 5, X/S, PC, Macintosh | Genres: Action, RPG, Open-World
