Ubisoft has shared a number of gameplay clips that showcase the combat mechanics of Assassin’s Creed Shadows. These clips will give you a glimpse at the different combat strategies and weapons that Yasuke and Naoe will have at their disposal.
Assassin’s Creed Shadows takes place in 16th-century Japan during the Azuchi-Momoyama era. In this game, you will live the intertwined stories of Naoe and Yasuke. Against the backdrop of the turbulent late Sengoku period, this duo will discover their common destiny as they usher in a new era for Japan.
Naoe will be quick and agile, whereas Yasuke will be a tank. Naoe will be able to use a Katana, Kusarigama, a tanto dagger and the hidden blade. On the other hand, Yasuke will use a Long Katana, Naginata, Kanabo, Yumi Bow, and Teppo flint rifle.
Both of them will be able to dodge attacks, as well as block and parry. Moreover, they will have special skills and abilities. And, alongside their light and heavy attacks, both of them will have a posture attack.
Ubisoft will release this Assassin’s Creed Shadows on February 14th. The game will not require a mandatory internet connection to play, but it will be using the Denuvo anti-tamper tech.
Finally, Ubisoft has not shared its PC requirements. We also don’t know whether or not it will take advantage of any Ray Tracing effects.
Enjoy and stay tuned for more!

Fking french, instead of showing us their halfased animations they could've released this mess earlier, but nooo, they didn't want the dates overlapping with other competitors that actually make games for a living.
Sir, they killed all our beloved franchises.
amen my child amen

Its like they want to kill the franchise, they are speedrunning bankruptcy.
A youtuber i watch made a thought provoking idea about this, that it was tencent behind this, since it always seems like chinese companies that end up buying up these companies.
Aka give them money, force a agenda, kill company, hostile takeover.
Seems to be a trend, however blackrock and vanguard seems to be on the same road. Spend a few mil, say they will invest more IF they ruin themselves with DIE err i mean DEI, the money grubbing execs naturally falls for this and then the company they were supposed to bring to greatness almost withers and die… then the "investor" runs laughing to the bank when a few millions turned into billions after they have kicked out the freakshow and set them straight again. That's what i think is happening and was suspecting even early
Tencent is supposedly going to buy them but who knows if this is true or not.
Please tell me this is AI and not official
I GOT NEWS for you, you gay….ehmm, i got news for you, everyone uses ai now, call of duty has been caught doing it multiple times 80 bucks game.
The girl looks more masculine than..whatever the one in the left is.
Do you get so confused when you hit the town? Sorry for you man.
Ask your mother, I bet you can't define what a woman is.
Like Indiana Jones right? Haha
You loser will just ignore it once it reviews great and sells tons.
I don't get the fuss,even if it was real and not AI…these skins are pay to "own" aka microtransaction and not canon/obtained by playing the story.
As player of all AC games from start to end, all microtransaction i did purchased were the XP and Drachmae boost for Odyssey and XP and Silver Boost for Valhalla.
I never care about microtransactions as they are optional,not mandatory,in any game.
I wish UBI have succes with this,because i want to see Prince Of Persia Remake,that game is all i care,from Ubisoft since announced.
Probably will replay GoT instead of this abomination. Unfortunately GoT2 is also going to be woke, so hard pass

Not gay enough, needs more pink and purple.
I cannot upvote your comment enough. 1 trillion upvotes!!!
6 gorillion upvotes from me!
septillion from me, equivalent to the new quantum proc from google.
its "queer coded"
jews love blackwashing other peoples culture but never their own.
Jews as well as other semites like Arabs are literally Africans.
Yasghey.
If they had swapped the races on those 2 characters, 99% of players would be playing the Japanese man. Right now, 99% of players won't be playing the game at all.
if the japanese man was as slow as this i would stick to the black chick.
I was smart and didn’t waste time watching the clips. 😛
Not if they made the Japanese guy a ghey.
Remember you always have a choice. I have my priorities set already.

Yeah, that's a shame. But I'm sure there will be workaround to play it just like original venus vacation
Koei Tecmo are cowards
Yall gooners will never be stopped
I was curious if it was not for sale in The United States.
I am going to play Kingdom Come Deliverance II on February 4th.
I really hope this Assassin’s Creed will finally Assassinate the stinkiest, filthiest Ubi$hite once and for all.
God I hope so, but I feel like the sheeps will keep buying new AC games anyway no matter if the character is LGTQB++ pink wearing abomination.
damn my nigba yasuke is slow, meanwhile the ninja chick is fast.
Cant play as yasuke, he gives me dark souls flashbacks, too slow for me.
It's so true that in the previous ACs it was so much faster. I hope this is your first AC because otherwise we would have to wonder how you were able to play the previous ones with such a level of requirement.
Nothing says "confidence" like disabled voting and comments.
Ubisoft not taking feedback from their potential customers is what put them in the current situation, the game is DOA, and Ubisoft will follow in some way or another.
Looks cool but this is an RPG and it's going to be tedious fighting spongy enemies. Notice how they've hidden the health bars in most of these clips.
Ubisoft designs their games to be tedious so you feel compelled to buy helix credits.
Pirate their trash and use cheat table if you must.
I havent bought nor pirated anything from Ubisoft since 2014-15.
Pre-ordering the division is one of my greatest life regrets.
They managed to make the animations even jankier than in Mirage…amazing
Miss me with this niggatry.
Just came for the comments, no way I'm playing the videos!
i played one so you wont have to. u didnt miss a thing. they couldn't even get the best part of the Japanese culture
Let’s hope bankruptcy comes faster!
Btw, thanks lad, your act of bravery won’t be forgotten!
Aye aye cap’n
It's crazy the first time an AC's looked appealing enough to really play to me since I dropped the first one years ago is the first one to get all this ill will.
A comment space filled with bullshit from people who refuse to play a black character. Fear of feeling emotions through a black character created by devs who are of all origins. In a game that has never been anything other than a genre of historical fiction where ubisotf has always taken liberties with reality. Ridiculous comments as possible. The worst is that you don't even realize your stupidity.
I think it's more about this particular black guy doesn't make sense. He doesn't represent the Samurai history or the Japanese culture. The only possible reason that Ubisoft has done the game this way is to push diversity and inclusion. Hell, they even have a Diversity and Inclusion Dept at their headquarters with it's own Vice President. Google it and read about it on their website if you don't believe me. Linking is a pain here. A couple of years ago the CEO said that "the number one goal going forward is diversity". It's certainly not hiring based on talent and experience. That much is obvious.
I have played as a black character in games before and it doesn't bother me but this sh*t is just forcing a liberal agenda on gamers so I pass on playing it.
Choosing a period where Japanese people shoot with Western rifles or where the Jesuits, also Western, are present en masse on the island and sabotage Japanese society from the inside did not pose any problem whatsoever to those who wanted an AC highlighting samurai/ninja/Japanese culture during an ancient period. Not a word. But a black character who by the way does not prevent himself from immersing himself in the local culture, there it goes wrong. Double standards. It's just because the character is black, no matter the degree of argument. This is not the first work that deals with Yasuke and looking at Japanese society through "his eyes" does not bother me at all. In addition, there are 2 playable characters, one of whom is Japanese. The period chosen by the devs is full of contradictions and paradoxes. With a Japanese society in turmoil and mutation, the introduction of Yasuke only confirms the atmosphere of this period. I don't give a damn about these stupid woke stories that have no interest.
I'm going to buy the game and play both characters. Out of the question to set limits where they don't exist.
By the way, it's almost Christmas. Don't let that stop you from imagining that although Jesus and Mary may be "white" there is also a possibility that they may resemble something other than the interpretation that Western society has been feeding you to make you assimilate/integrate into your hearts/minds a God of the desert straddling the Arabian and African continents. The barriers are not where we have been led to think they are.
Dude we played AC: Origins with Bayek (black character) and almost none of us complained then. Cause it MADE SENSE. The one time we get a game based in Japan they make the mc black ofc all of us are complaining. Cause it doesn't fit in there.
I'm not saying that Bayek can't be a black character but the devs have really adjusted his skin tone so that the question doesn't really arise. Depending on the brightness of the game and the setting of your monitor you will never see a black character. If the character had been a black person identifiable as such it would have caused a scandal like here. And not just all of North Africa would have reported the "problem". You know it and play on it to hide the fact that the problem is that the character is black.
'Depending on the brightness of the game and the setting of your monitor you will never see a black character', you are off your meds my guy.
You can't say that bullcrap in a series that has Origins/Liberation/Freedom Cry as one of their games with black people as the MCs. R3tard
What narrative are you talking about seriously?
The ACs are full of fictional historical narratives.
That some Japanese are joining in doesn't mean there is no racism in it. It just means that some Japanese are too and there is nothing surprising about that either.
It's good that you talk about qualified white women. Because Trump has not found a single qualified woman worthy of the name on American soil on 2 occasions. White, black, yellow, red, green, blue. No women. Nada. A qualified woman seems to have no reality for him especially to occupy the slightest position of importance.
I have no idea what 76 million Americans wanted to do.
But if the rest to come looks like this then I would be of the opinion to say that you have done nothing at all in fact.
Just to let everyone know that they are not going to stop this nonsensical DEI & woke ideology bull*hit, they are going to double down for the upcoming years, the ONLY WAY IS TO STOP BUYING AND PLAYING THIS GAME EVEN THE PIRATED COPIES. AND SHAME THEM ON YOUTUBE, X AND EVERYWHERE, show them it's enough… it's up to you GAMERS.
Looks a lot better than the combat in Valhalla. Very clear visual cues too.
