While Assassin's Creed Shadows itself can be officially played right on March 20, 2025 at midnight EDT time, or on Indonesian time on March 21, 2025 at 10 am WIB. Assassin's Creed Shadows will be a famous IP series from Ubisoft that will tell about the adventures of Shinobi & Samurai in the Sengoku era.
New Feudal Japan setting in the Assassin's Creed series
So far, Assassin's Creed has mostly taken European backgrounds such as Vikings in Assassin's Creed Valhalla, Greece in Assassin's Creed Odyssey, Egypt like Assassin's Creed Origins, or Italy in the Assassin's Creed trilogy with the iconic character Ezio Auditore.
This time, Assassin's Creed Shadows brings the theme of feudal Japan, where many buildings and neighborhoods have unique architecture. Potential parkour and also action is certainly promising with the introduction of Shinobi and Samurai-themed characters.
Two Characters with Two Different Styles
This time, Assassin's Creed Shadows provides an opportunity to enjoy the journey of two main characters that can be played freely, namely Naoe with a style of assassin, and Yasuke with style samurai. This time, both characters can be used at any time to complete quests in Assassin's Creed Shadows. This is a different approach than the previous installment, Assassin's Creed Valhalla, where the main character Eivor could be played in both male and female modes.
Sure, it's an interesting experience, in the midst of Ubisoft's approach of steering the Assassin's Creed series to be heavier on the RPG genre than it is on the RPG genre. stealth iconic. Assassin's Creed Mirage, which was published in 2023, is the latest game to use the mechanic of stealth iconic Assassin's Creed since the first series.
Pre-Order Benefit and Expansion Potential
By pre-ordering, Ubisoft provides benefits in the form of some in-game trinkets, and especially expansion info on this game. This means, of course, that Assassin's Creed Shadow is a project with a fairly long plan, considering that expansions generally have much more content compared to DLC.
Nonetheless, the base game of Assassin's Creed Shadows should provide ample hours of playtime, considering that historically, the previous 2-3 games also adopted the open world for the map approach, so quite a lot of time was spent on completing these various contents.
