ABOUT THE GAME

Assassin's Creed Shadows is a 2025 action role-playing game developed by Ubisoft Quebec and published by Ubisoft. It is the fourteenth main installment in the Assassin's Creed series and the successor to Assassin's Creed Mirage (2023). Set in 16th-century Japan towards the end of the Sengoku period, the game focuses on the millennia-old struggle between the Assassin Brotherhood, who fight for peace and liberty, and the Templar Order, who desire peace through control, from the perspective of two protagonists: Fujibayashi Naoe, a kunoichi (a female shinobi), and Yasuke, an African samurai inspired by the historical figure of the same name. The two characters have different gameplay styles, allowing quests to be approached in multiple ways. Shadows was released for macOS, PlayStation 5, Windows, and Xbox Series X/S on March 20, 2025, with a version for Nintendo Switch 2 released on December 2, 2025, and a version for iPadOS to be released at a later date. Upon release, the game received generally positive reviews from critics.
