Ubisoft has officially announced the next main AC game, Assassin’s Creed Shadows. Assassin’s Creed Shadows will be released on November 15th, and below you can find its first details as well as its cinematic trailer.
Assassin’s Creed Shadows takes place in 16th-century Japan during the Azuchi-Momoyama era. Players will play as two distinct characters, a Japanese shinobi, Naoe, and a real-life historical samurai, Yasuke.
In Assassin’s Creed Shadows, 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.
The game promises to have spectacular castle towns, bustling ports, peaceful shrines, and pastoral landscapes. Ubisoft also claims that AC: Shadows will have unpredictable weather, changing seasons, and reactive environments.
Ubisoft has also shared the first set of in-engine screenshots. From what we know, the game will be powered by the AnvilNext Engine. So, these early screenshots should give you an idea of what you can expect from it.
The cinematic trailer gave me a lot of Shogun vibes. On one hand, this is a good thing. On the other hand, it felt more like Ghost of Tsushima, and not like an Assassin’s Creed game. Or at least that’s what I thought.
Ubisoft hasn’t shared any additional tech details about AC: Shadows. However, according to the latest rumors, we should get the first gameplay trailer next month. So, this gameplay trailer will give us a better idea of how this new AC game looks and plays.
Enjoy and stay tuned for more!

Ret@rds – See this black samurai was in the history books look, look.
Ret@rds – Who cares that you play as a young girl on a skis in Norway 1944 instead of real WW2 heroes. It’s just a game.
Ret@rds – How dare you play as White Chris Redfield in Africa !!! It’s totally not just a game.
Gaming Industry 2024.
The RE5 one makes me mad.. The black VAs from the game said several times in interviews that they don´t think it´s racist. If killing spanish people is ok then killing black ones should be as well.
But nooo ofc not. “Shhhh let me be offended on your behalf.”
we had these articles in 2008 the game came out and everyone laughed at them and now the same articles are back.
Same crowd also get mad at kingdom come deliverance for not having pocs and female knights
3 .. 2 .. 1
This is the biggest slap in the face of Japanese history.
Let’s hope the yellow lads all boycott the shïtty western nibba samurais.
ubisucks puts a nig in every title nowadays, the absurdity lmao
And not even MODs could save this disgrace, since we know the story is going to sück more than Sasha.
ikr!
He’s based on the first black samurai… you chuds are just caricatures of yourselves now.
He never was a samurai, not even close.
he was never a samurai you wikipedia reading clown, he was a slave used a trophy by a lord who carried his swords around and did his bidding.
Not just ubishit
Sire, what to do now?
Remove my logo from your profile pic. off you go now
you gave me the permission, sire. now you are stripping me off from my honor?
Where have I done that my child?
You have forgotten, sire. A long ago. Please let me live with my honor!!
So be it my child. Wear your honor like a suit of armor. But know this; while you think it keeps you safe, all it does is weigh you down and make it hard for you to move.
:(((
They are not target demography to ubishit.
and its intentional.
When was any AC game true to history?
All Ac games are inspired by history but they are work of fiction made by diverse people with diverse orientation since AC1.
Before even the logo apears they put this message,in hopes people realize it has nothing to do with reality.
So when someone say that Ubi butchered real history they are wrong and not at same time,because yes it didn’t happen in for real and also have the first screen before loading stating it did not happen=fiction.
Also if someone decides to sue them,that someone loose,because of that first screen(as in shuting up).
I’m not defending UBI,on the opposite i’m tired of them,not because of microtransactions(i don’t buy stuff from store) and overpriced editions(i allways buy the standard,later at discount after patches),but where is POP Remake,where is Splinter Cell Remake,Beyond Good and Evil 2?

tu ai fix numele meu lol
Cant wait to see this one flop
god willing i hope it does, i pray for it.
Thought the same for valhalla. Unfortunately it isn’t happening. Ubishit’s retarded snowflake fanbase is just too big
Does not matter they are many but the game will still flopped,UBI-Soy days of glory are long gone…it only remains for them to implode,i hope spectacularly.
doubtful, these games are esg funded, and enough normies play them for their generic open world fix
Valhala was the only viking game though.
>Yasuke walks into a crowd to blend in
>everybody immediately turns around to look at him
>sheeeit
“Imma blending in so naturally with the japanese”

amidst all the racist comments … ngl, this ones’s genuinely pretty funny
Jokes on you, he blends perfectly as a tree.
“here we go again”
We Wuz…Wu Tangz? I sense another big budget DEI flop.

i hope, how much of this trash are people willing to tolarate?

Funny is that she has clearly different face in this picture than in videos.
A big blunder at Ubi? 🙂
Also she looks a lot like a boy in the videos – unlike in this picture.
The trailer is rendered footage. This screenshot is most likely in-game.
when homeworld 3 was announced the navigator had a cute asian face, i was like “did japan make this cinematic video?” Now the game is out and MANJAW MANLY FACE. They change these things at the 11 hour.
I couldn’t tell at first it was a girl. Thought it was a teenage boy.
I had the same impression. We had some manly looking women in the past, but they were still women. This is not a girl imho.
Anyway if they changed her face too late ingame – they still do it for the better.
We Wuz Tang Clan
Actually the game isn’t powered by AnvilNext, they built a new game engine from the ground up which they should have done for Valhalla. It’s called Anvil Pipeline and is built to take advantage of DX12, Ray Tracing, virtual geometry and mesh shaders. It also has a new dynamic weather system.
Anvil Next was a DX11 game engine, AnvilNext 2.0 (Valhalla and Mirage) was just a hack to make it work with DX12. Anvil Pipeline is a true DX12 game engine.
hopefully its easy to mod. Cause I am not playing as a black samurai
ubisoft games are impossible to mod especially the character models.

It’s amazing how it’s just not enough to taint European history for these vile creatures anymore. They have to go after the Japanese now. I did a bit of digging, and Yasuke never reached the rank of samurai. Oda Nobunaga basically kept him around as a showpiece of sorts, and he was occasionally given tasks like carrying swords around. Apparently he fled instead of dying honorably too. Some “samurai.”
As for the female being shinobi… No such thing. The closest to one would be a type of woman spy who mainly eavesdropped and infiltrated by winning the trust of male enemies. They did have a couple of other clever tricks of espionage but that’s about it. Historically there are zero records of women shinobi.
And John, the fact that you wrote about Yasuke being a real-life historical samurai is embarrassing to say the least. You should edit your article ASAP because every Japanese man reading this right now has the following reaction:
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/f5be2342a856995cf2b2fb2945e7bc537b3be5eac78c3c2e6e9df1c380d2f76c.jpg
That part is from Ubisoft’s press release.
Then put in the press release in your article as a block of quoted text as is usually done. Right now it looks like you wrote it.
Regardless, it’s a complete fabrication so you should do your part and correct the record.
Agree to everything you said, my wife is Japanese. Her family comes from a long history of Samurai in the southern tip on the main island. Shimonoseki. This is so bad on so many levels.
This is not going to go well for sales for Ubi. they might as well pull this release now like the did that crappy Heartland that I knew was garbage from the betas I played.

Hey Logan, I see you got a stick stuck up your as$ since all you do is down vote everyone’s post. Go find a new hobby jerkoff!!
Definitely not a female shinobi who fought men twice her size
“real-life historical samurai, Yasuke.”
Even if it’s a real life historical samurai, ubisoft needs to show some respect to the Japanese brothers and sisters, and give them a native Japanese samurai sence this is the 1st AC game in japan, not that sweetbaby certified bs… Fok-u ubisoft and fok ur woke satanic agenda.
He wasnt a samurai, they upgraded him like they did with the shield maidens and the vakyries.
At this rate, gamers from around the world needs to stand against this nonsense brainwashing once and for all… sick and tired from all this satanic doing in books, movies, music, games, sports… i can’t take it anymore. they altered every fkng cultures.
everyone is tired of it, hollywood is crashing, disney is crashing, tv shows are so bad now that people think the fallout show was good and the industry is fighitng for survival with sweet baby cringe and layoffs.
Gamers are the least likely to put up any resistance against woke onslaughts. Because they will always tolerate “accpetable” limits of wokeness. Instead of entirely doing away with it.
many such cases because games are hard to make and take time so you ignore the stuff you dont like, i have been doing that since 2005, i cant do it anymore.
He wasn’t. Being a black peasant in Japan differs from being a samurai.
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA…
Not that I didn’t know it would be like this, but it’s fücking funny. Funny because I don’t give a single flying fück about this series, but it would be tragic otherwise.
This nibba was never a samurai, he was respected amongst them.
And the wahmen, well, historically all samurai were wahmen, right?!
Ah yes a nig in japan, woke nation once again at it
You can’t make this sh*t up.
I genuinely do not remember the last Ubisoft game I even remotely gave a s**t about.
How do people continue to give this company money for this cancerous garbage?
Tiktok audience, mate. What can one expect?
Cinematic CGI trailer meh. Once again no real gameplay, but there are already news about Battle Pass, Season Pass and content hidden behind paywall of pre-ordes and more expensive editions.
I dont know how to say this, so here we go, there is a reason why every movie and tv show is some non white lesbian looking woman and a black guy, no matter what the setting is, including feudal japan. I cant take it anymore, enough, ubisoft games suck, they are all exactly the same you played the latest, you played the last 4 as well. Their games are a giant grindfest with micro transactions to save that grind, their games are horrible optimized with 20 drm layers and they are always online, which means one day they take them offline like the crew.
STOP
BUYING
UBISOFT
GAMES
^ this. perfectly well said.
Seriously? WTF is this abomination? They finally make a game setting in Japan just to force you play as a negroe?
Nope, just so every sane person can ignore this dumpster fire and move on.
Damn, the nerve Ubi still have..And to see that the Japanese character will be just a side kick it’s just….don’t know how to put it…
SweetBaby inc strikes again.
This might be the best woke game ever.
The protagonist will be the perfect Ninja. He didn’t needed to wear black cloths in the night. He just needed to take off his cloths. Well played ubisoft.
His cover’s blown if he widens his eyes and smiles though.
NEENJA DARK SMIRK POWER

@InfinitaleComic
I worked on some narrative elements for the Sengoku Era of Japan for Assassin’s Creed back in 2013-2014 when I worked under contract in San Jose/Tokyo (Aeria). I guess they tossed all that out for Black Samurai and some canon-destroying Kunoichi-boss?
I’m so glad I’m not in that industry anymore. I guess it’s only fitting that my contributions to these studios vanish like everything else I worked on (every MMO shooter I have worked on has been shutdown).
Here’s a brief synopsis of the original story (from what I can remember — it’s been a decade):
The plot focused on the young monk, “Yamauchi Taka” as the playable ancestor. “Taka” means “Hawk” to coincide with the then naming convention of every playable hero being named after a bird of prey (no idea if that changed with all of these newer, disjointed games that no longer have Desmond as the core hero that bound everything together).
The main conflict was about “The Sword of Eden” (aka “Excalibur”, “Honjō Masamune”, “Genghis Khan’s Sword”, etc.). and how it had given its latest wielder, Oda Nobunaga, an unfair advantage in his conquest of Japan.
After Nobunaga is assassinated by Hattori Hanzo, Taka becomes a part of the brotherhood and, under Hanzo, is trained as an Assassin (Shinobi).
The brotherhood try to transport the recovered sword out of Japan but are beset by Jesuit (Templar) ships and it is lost.
To make matters worse,
Hanzo is assassinated as he considers retirement as a monk. His lord, Tokugawa Ieyasu, charges Taka with finding the killer (and recovering the sword).
Despite Nobunaga’s successor, Toyotomi Hideyoshi acquiring the sword and going on a rampage that extends into Korea, Taka steals the sword back and mad Daimyo loses his power, weakening his campaign in Korea. Incensed by the theft, Toyotomi believes he was betrayed by the Templars and basically exterminates all Jesuits (Templars) in Japan. Taka infiltrates Toyotomi’s castle and faces him in a final battle, resulting Toyotomi’s death.
The ambitious daimyo is left to die as Taka slips away before his retainers could intercept him. The now seasoned assassin spares Toyotomi’s infant heir, knowing the clan has lost its teeth and will eventually wither without Hideyoshi. Ieysau begins his ambitious power grab, demanding Taka and the Brotherhood give him the sword and help him wipe away (“abstergo” in Latin) all of his enemies from Japan to fully unite it under his clan’s banners. Taka and the Brotherhood decline and vanish into the shadows with the sword.
Oh well. Black Samurai and Kunoichi it is. What a shame.

” and basically exterminates all Jesuits (Templars) in Japan.”
no wonder the jewsuits changed it
Holy crap, this sounds SO much better than whatever the heck this upcoming turd is going to be. They threw all of this potential out for ESG scores. And to think, there are progressives who have the cheek to claim that pozz doesn’t get in the way of good storytelling. They can sod off all the way to sub-Sahara Africa where they can get culturally enriched by all the diversity they love so much.
I was talking to fnd about black ninjas and ninja n*ggas yesterday, what a sweet coincidence.
When I saw the negro I shut off the cinematic. F-ck you Ubi. Your woke sh*t went over your head. I want this damn franchise to commit harikari and Ubi to burn to the ground together with EA.
so far : 160K upvotes – 130K downvotes. keep those dislikes coming boys.
Agree, I think it’s one step too far this time.
As much as I love the series, Only way this get’s in my game collection is if it’s in the bargain bin more than 50% off, Not paying full price for this.
They had the perfect chance to use Miyamoto Musashi but went down this BS woke path.
Only way I get this (pirating ofc) is if you can mod an actual Japanese samurai into it, which will be pretty hard to mod(new engine) and publish due to Nexus woke website.
always online.
Basedmods is your only hope.
its the idea that Ubi doesn’t look at other key figures but instead is solely focusing on characters like these. Yasuke was a real samurai back in the 16th century but there’s way too little known about him, it i literal guess work from his birth,birthplace to his death, so sure you can craft a ‘fake’ story around him but since this is the first time we ever take the AC franchise to japan, they decided to go with this instead of other more prominent figures, as you named one yourself.
he was not a samurai, he never became a samurai ,stop repeating this lie.
The nibba was never a samurai, mate!
He had the samurai’s respect, giving him the chance to work close to them, nothing else.
He was a glorified slave.
He was a retainer at most.
Being a black peasant in Japan differs from being a samurai.
It’s funny how quickly the trailer had thousands of likes within a few minutes 🤣🤣🤣
clearly they are botting all companies do now.
its funny how the dislikes are now 50K more than likes.
In a sane world Yasuke would be an NPC for a secondary quest (that’s how relevant to real history he was) and both playable characters would be japanese.
Besides that, it looks like more of the same even visually.
Agreed, agreed and agreed!
the “:sane world” you describe was 5 years ago, the wokeness has skyrocketed since then, i say bring it, accelerate faster lets see how long before every character is a disabled trans muslim lesbian, no matter the setting.
The moment i saw your answer the trailer for Battlefield “V”agina came to mind.
Fingers cross things go the way you describe it and we go back to the times where Ubisoft would remove a crossbow in AC1 because it wasn”t historically accurate. AC games were always alternate history, now they are blatant fantasy to the point of mockery. The trailer for this game may as well be for a Netflix show.
yes its surreal we went from “we removed the crossbow because it wasnt historically accurate” to ” we changed the paints on a amphora because it wasnt feminist and put a black samurai in feudal japan”
It’s insane propaganda and revisionism, and I’m not against putting the dude in the setting since he existed, but at the level of protagonist? is absolute bull since in the series the real people were always on the side as allies/antagonists or quests givers.
Of course, you can always argue that since is an obscure character in history they can do whatever bull they want…but it always comes as pandering or agenda driven for those sweet sweet ESG points
It all kinda started with syndicate, and I’m surprised most people who ask for
more immersion and realism don’t find issues with it.
Bf5 didn’t really stop ea from putting wokeness in 2042. The roster of “hero” characters you get to choose in that are all dei approved.
Do you brain dead Koshervatives not realize how dumb, illogical and incoherent you sound when you spew your pathetic cringe phrase “trans Muslim”? You do realize that Islam is the most anti-ghey religion to this date and that anyone who identifies as “trans” (Muslim or not) will be thrown off the roof (deservedly so) unlike your liberalized Christianity and atheism that tolerated this Satanic cancer until you reached to the point of sane people (“straight people”) getting cancelled for openly criticizing these Satanist groomers?
You do realize that Jews are the ones behind the ghey agenda and it even was a German Jew named (((Magnus Hirschfeld))) who invented transgenderism and got *its* nationality revoked (again, deservedly so) for the Satanic perversions *it* unleashed on the world? Why not say “trans Jew” instead? Or are you one of those “aCtUaLlY aCtUaLlY jEwS aRe tEh (((iNnOcEnT cHoSeN pEoPlE pAcIfIcTs))) wHo aReN’t cApAbLe oF sCrAtChInG eVeN aN aNt aNd I aGrEe wItH eVeRy sInGlE tHiNg tHeY sAy aNd eVeN tHiNk oF! iT iZ aLl jUst oNe bIg (((cOhEnCiDeNcE))) tHaT bLaCkRoCk iZ a jEwIsH cOmPaNy! bUt bElIeVe uS, iT hAz nOtHiNg tO dO wItH jUdAiSm!!!” type of mentalities? You sure sound like one.
First of all you sound like koshervatives who make “queers in palestine” jokes. Second of all, This phrase is meant to show the absurdity of the “inclusivity” and interectionality and it started when vampire the masquarade had a gay practising muslim vampire called rudi, finally you dont have to JQ me, i am shtposting about them really hard on twitter.
The “queers in palestine” thing while not false (i.e. getting yourself killed), but so is “Christians for Israel” too. Guess who is exterminating Palestinian Christians like these 2 Christian women who were sniped in cold blood? NOT Hamas. It’s (((ISRAEL)))!
i am so tired of everyone who doesnt suck ziocock being called “pro hamas” no one is pro hamas.
5 years? By then all of this stuff was already happening, I would say Doom 2016 was probably the cut off point for western AAA games
yes 2015 to be more precise was when all the people with any talent were forced out of the industry and these games came out in 2016-2018 and we saw the outcome, everything after that was woke trash.
Too many games with Japanese setting, or Asian. Im getting sick of it
Japanese immigration propaganda. Courtesy of the WEF and your friends at BlackRock.
very mid reveal, Ghost of Tsushima will probably be the better game in the longrun! Shame it got delisted in so many countries though.
You’re right. But GoT won’t have DENUVO, so…
haha yep! a lot will be sailing the high seas to get that one
I sense a disturbance in the force…………
This game 50% off within the first 6 months!
Absolute disgrace seeing it’s Assassin’s Creed’s first Japanese setting, Should have been
Miyamoto Musashi!
its a ubisoft game it would be full price on steam for a decade out of spite.
At this point why can’t ubi just give us a character creator in asscreed? They’ve done away with pretty much all historical authenticity and realism. Oh yeah, that wouldn’t be so kosher. How else they are gonna foce people to play as their dei sweet baby infested woke characters.
If this game fails, that is exactly what they will do. And it will enable them to have body types and pronouns.
It just goes to show that the ruling class will gladly shove the historical revisionism into entertainment (be it films or games). But not in the real life where there’s not even a hint of equal rights for different races or classes.
Hypocrisy of the highest level.
It’s time for Ubisoft to go bankrupt
They obliterated the little trust they have with the majority of their fans
Main AC game were mediocre for the last 10 years, but they never got this much hate for them
This time around they did everything in their power to enrage gamers from the “get comfortable not owning statement” to the removal of purchased game with no offline patch
to the outrageous pricing and pushing gamers toward paying for their overpriced subscription
Let us just hope, my dude!
Lmfao that white nig!
I sense a disturbance in the force…………

When I saw the female “samurai” , I assumed there would be a male protagonist too. Indeed there was, but no, NO NO NO! I’m sure as HELL not gonna play as a black samurai either. Way to f up the only setting I’ve been looking forward to in a AC game, thanks UBISHIT. I’m just waiting for the wokes will try to paint everyone who says this as a fcking racist..
oh man this f*ckn SH*TSHOW – ni**ers everywhere. Totaly a slap in the face to Japan!
Hope they bomb the Disgusting POS west. Hate this abbomination we are living in!
WTF a woman and a black man in Medieval Japan!
UBIS#!T is truly horrible!
They ran out of white history to ruin, so now asians are next on the chopping block
Also I don’t understand people who say this series was ruined, its been woke since the beginning with its blatant anti Christian themes which bordered on talmudism, as well as having you play as a muslim assassin, which was very much a product of the Bush era when leftists thought it was edgy to simp for islam.
