Assassin’s Creed Shadows Will Take Shape Based on Character Selection

Ubisoft’s highly anticipated new game, Assassin’s Creed Shadows, adds innovation to the series by offering the opportunity to play with two main characters. The game’s director, Jonathan Dumont, stated in a statement that players will be able to progress in the story by choosing one of the characters named Yasuke and Naoe. Each character will have their own unique abilities, story sections and play style. Dumont said that players will not lose content regardless of which character they play.

Assassin’s Creed Shadows Two Heroes, Two Different Experiences

According to Dumont, Yasuke is a strong and durable warrior, while Naoe stands out as an agile and fast character. These differences offer players both action-packed and more strategic gameplay. Dumont stated that he personally prefers to play both characters in a balanced way and switches between characters to experience both sides of the story.

Both heroes will have their own unique starting scenes and missions specific to that character. For example, Naoe’s personal missions will not be accessible with Yasuke. However, Dumont stated that players will be able to focus entirely on the character they want and the game will be adapted accordingly.

Assassin’s Creed Shadows will be released on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S and PC platforms on March 20, 2025. The game is expected to offer fans of the series a brand new gameplay with its freedom of character selection and personalized story experience.

Ubisoft draws attention with this innovative structure of the game, promising players a deep story and comprehensive gaming experience no matter which character they choose. Assassin’s Creed Shadows will offer a wide range of options for players who love both action and strategy.
