New Assassin’s Creed Shadows video focuses on exploration


Ubisoft has shared some new gameplay clips for Assassin’s Creed: Shadows that focus on its exploration mechanics. And, thankfully, Assassin JorRaptor has compiled them into one big video which you can find below.

In this video, we get to see the main character using boats and horses to traverse the world. The game will also have the series’ iconic synchronization mechanic. Moreover, we get to see its Target Board (which is similar to the one we saw in Mirage).

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.

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.

Just yesterday, Ubisoft shared some new videos that showcased the new parkour system of this new AC game. In December 2024, it also shared more details about its combat mechanics. So, I suggest reading those articles.

Finally, AC: Shadows will not require a mandatory internet connection to play. However, it will be using the Denuvo anti-tamper tech. Since this is Assassin’s Creed we’re talking about, I don’t expect Ubisoft to remove it via a post-launch update. That’s a bummer but hey, it is what it is.

Assassin’s Creed Shadows will be released on March 20th.

Enjoy and stay tuned for more!
