Ubisoft has released a new 20-minute gameplay video for Assassin’s Creed Shadows that shows off the stealth and combat abilities of Naoe and Yasuke. This will give you a pretty good idea of how different these two characters will play. So, make sure to watch it if you are interested in this new AC game.
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.
Assassin’s Creed Shadows will be powered by the latest version of the Anvil Engine. The game will have dynamic seasons and weather, aiming to change the landscape and your strategy. It will also have destructible environments, as well as dynamic wind and environmental particles.
On PC, players can expect support for DLSS 3.7, FSR 3.1 and XeSS 2 at launch. There will also be a built-in benchmark tool to test your PC. Plus, the game will support ultra-wide monitors.
From a technical viewpoint, I’m curious to see what this new AC game will bring to the table. For this title, Ubisoft has partnered with Intel. So, in theory, we can expect good CPU scaling across various CPUs.
Let’s also hope that the game won’t suffer from any stutters. All the previous AC games had traversal stutters. To its credit, Mirage did not have as many as Origins, Odyssey or Valhalla did.
Ubisoft will release Assassin’s Creed: Shadows on PC on March 20th. As we’ve already reported, the game will also be using the Denuvo anti-tamper tech. You can also find its official PC system requirements here.
Enjoy and stay tuned for more!
