Assassin's Creed Shadows needs to be canceled by Ubisoft, according to a group of Japanese gamers. Following the reveal of Shadows (previously dubbed Assassin's Creed: Red) back in May of this year, plenty of 'fans' took to social media to discuss Ubisoft's choice for the game's main protagonists. Not only has there been a vocal discussion about character representation, but a group of Japanese gamers also seemingly don't agree with the game's historical accuracy and the lack of cultural respect from Ubisoft. As a matter of fact, there's now a Japanese petition on Charge.org that demands Ubisoft to cancel the […]
Assassin's Creed Shadows will be the first new entry since 2020's Valhalla. In that game, players had to choose at the start whether to play with a female or male main character (Eivor Varinsdottir), but in the new installment, there will be two separate protagonists: the shinobi Naoe and the samurai Yasuke. In case you were wondering to which extent Assassin's Creed Shadows will dictate who you're playing with, associate director Simon Lemay-Comtois told GamesRadar that players would be able to stick with their favorite protagonist for most of the game if they wish. If you want to be only […]
As the period fans have been begging Ubisoft forever since Desmond’s first days in the Animus, Assassin’s Creed is finally exploring Feudal Japan with a new story and dual protagonist setup. Book-ending the Ubisoft Forward press conference and our last appointment of Summer Game Fest’s Play Days, Ubisoft invited us to take a deeper behind-closed-doors look at Assassin’s Creed Shadows. During a guided presentation on PlayStation 5, Ubisoft presented an intimate look following the first assassination mission involving Yasuke, the more brash and directly honorable of the dual protagonists. Standing approximately six feet tall, Yasuke is head and shoulders above […]
Assassin’s Creed Shadows is the next big RPG in the series from the team at Ubisoft Quebec, and the rule for recent RPG-style entries in the series has been “bigger is better.” Assassin’s Creed Origins was big, Assassin’s Creed Odyssey was bigger, and Assassin’s Creed Valhalla was perhaps even a bit larger. So, does Ubisoft plan to push the scope even further for AC Shadows? Thankfully for those who found some recent AC games a bit overwhelming, the answer is no. According to a recent Video Games Chronicle interview with Ubisoft Quebec’s Simon Lemay-Comtois, Assassin’s Creed Shadows scales things back […]
One of the main attractions during the June 10 Ubisoft Forward was a proper look atAssassin’s Creed Shadows gameplay. After a couple of story trailers earlier this year, we got a deep dive into how the game, set in feudal Japan, will play (we also got ...
Earlier this week Ubisoft finally shone a light on Assassin’s Creed Shadows, the new Feudal Japan-set RPG-style adventure from the team at Ubisoft Quebec, that was originally known by the codename Assassin’s Creed Red. Since then, a few other tidbits have leaked, including a release date and some details about the game’s DLC and pricing plans. That said, fans were understandably still hungry for more. Well, today Ubisoft dropped the first trailer for Assassin’s Creed Shadows. It’s only cinematic, so we can’t glean too much about how the game might look during actual gameplay, but it provides a pretty in-depth […]
Following the release date leak, Assassin's Creed Shadows also got its pricing and season pass/DLC plan leaked, although through another source. This info was shared on Twitter by Ubisoft leaker Frax, who wrote that Assassin's Creed Shadows will be priced at £59.99 (so, likely $69.99) for the base edition.

Season Pass - $/€40 Welcome Pack (4200 Helix) - $/€35 Expansion 1 - $/€25 Expansion 2 - $/€25 —-Currency Packs—- 500 Helix - $/€5 1050 Helix - $/€10 2300 Helix […]
Back in 2022, Ubisoft announced that they were finally making a much-demanded trip to Feudal Japan with Assassin’s Creed Red, the latest open-world RPG take on the series from developer Ubisoft Quebec (Assassin's Creed Odyssey). It was always expected that Assassin’s Creed Red would eventually get a different title, Red was just a codename, and today, Ubisoft revealed it – Assassin’s Creed Shadows. The Assassin’s Creed Shadows title was announced on X, alongside an image of an hourglass situated in what appears to be a modern Japanese setting. Ubisoft is promising a “countdown” will play out on their social media […]
