## About Assassin’s Creed Shadows

Assassin's Creed Shadows is a 2025 action-adventure RPG set in feudal Japan, developed by Ubisoft Quebec and published by Ubisoft at a price of $69.99. The game features dual protagonists, Yasuke and Naoe, who offer distinct combat and stealth playstyles, with character-switching mechanics enabling players to experience both a shinobi assassin and a legendary samurai. Mechanics include combo-based combat with parry and deflect options, a day-night cycle, environmental interaction, and fast travel across a massive open world. Reviewers highlight the feudal Japan setting with its samurai and shinobi gameplay fantasy, noting that players describe the stealth mechanics as the best since Assassin's Creed Unity, incorporating prone movement and grappling hook traversal. The game supports solo-only play with a verified Steam Deck version and holds a 78% positive rating from 14,789 Steam reviews.
