Ubisoft has shared some new videos that show off the parkour system of the upcoming AC game, Assassin’s Creed: Shadows. So, let’s take a look at them, shall we?
In AC: Shadows, dodge has been merged with parkour down mechanics. According to the devs, this will unlock a whole bunch of new parkour moves. This new mapping also disconnects stance-switch (e.g. standing, crouching, prone) from parkour. This will ensure you can use any stances without accidentally going down a rooftop when you don’t want to. Some of these new moves performed with the dodge button include acrobatic dodges over railings, out-of-windows jumps, or new silent drop-downs.
In Shadows, holding the parkour up button while moving will make either Naoe or Yasuke reach for the highest / furthest point they can. This can mean running up a wall to grab a handhold, jumping across a large gap between two rooftops, or leaping as far as they can into the void, hoping for the best. Each character will have their own capabilities in parkour. Naoe will jump further and reach higher than Yasuke. On the other hand, Yasuke will be generally slower when navigating rooftops.
The game will also have the Igan Recovery Roll. You will be able to do this roll by simply pressing the dodge/parkour down button when landing from great heights. This will allow Naoe to execute a landing maneuver that softens impact and reduces noise from a harder landing.
By holding the dodge / parkour down button while moving ensures that your character is dropping to the lowest, safest point below them. This will allow you to avoid dangerous leaps into the void. Parkour down also allows for low-profile landings, generating minimal sound for a stealthy approach.
You can find even more details about the game’s parkour system on Ubisoft’s site. So, make sure to read it as the blog post goes into more detail about the sprint modes, the grappling hook, and the unclimbable surfaces.
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!

Fentanyl Floyd cosplaying as a samurai is going to bankrupt Ubisoft.
Are you serious? We don't tolerate that kind of language here you white male pig.
@adamslowinski:disqus
Are you joking or retarded?
Is there a third option?
ah so you admit you are a n*zi.
Look up third position if you didnt get the joke.
Yes
https://youtu.be/XtIzdjY2-MA
this is actually accurate the n@zi hated the jews but considered black people lower but they didn't hate them to a point where German generals had married and had kids mixed with the n@zi kids , how do you think they managed to roam in Africa???
Do you see it? There where black n@zi and many with high positions in the army , you might think , *that's impossible * it wasn't ok ? How do you think to this days there are genocides in Africa due to religion or tribal differences ?
N@zi weren't limited to Germans , hitler himself was not german , he was austrian , italians , french and even ukraine had n@zi involvement.
now you are gonna ask Source?
Do you think im a butler to you? i don't serve no one , so take your fingers and search yourself .
there were african nwords actually, they assiseted hword in his africa campaign.
🗿🗿🗿
Why do you say that like it's a bad thing
i dont.
he is delusional
It's dagoat, so the question answers itself.
Both.
i used the "white piggu go home" meme in youtuber and got a warning.
What did you expect? Youtube is woke, it's against my black a*s and us colored folks in general.
why are you making *color * as issue? why did you had to mention it? you know why there is hate right? because some people consider some groups dangerous , its like gipsy everyone in europe dislikes them , because they are dangerous , they follow a culture of marrying kids with grown and old, they are know for being violent even in countries where people aren't the best.
if there is something that need to be changed isn't color but behavior.
Im poor ,work in construction , never had opportunities, was bullied almost to death , im what you call white do you see me complaining about it constantly ? no , why? because im no manipulator.
gispysies are insufferable.
In my country Portugal close to the city Porto there is a small region called *Arrabida* i dare anyone to go there , you might enter but you will not exit
I don't know if you've been living under a rock but mr.Floyd was a hero to countless amount of people, his crime was his skin color, he never hamed anyone.
RIP my sweet black Angel
you truly need help
dude what the F , we all know Floyd was a criminal ,glorified by mentally ill , worst for me is the statue in the freaking holocaust museum , that should not be tolerated !
Coming from someone who uses a picture of an indonesian man of a certain religious group with blue contacts and/or photoshopped blue eyes on his own website, along with dyed blonde hair trying to make himself look white.
You do know that the white race origiantes in Indonesia, right?
Really hope this game flops and buries ubi$hit to the ground, maybe then, they will sell of the ips and the original AC writer comes back and fix this woke $hitshow
Oh it will, come Q2 they're pulverized.
The next Assassins Creed sounds even worse if they are even able to even launch it.
Delay further and change it, Miyamoto Musashi as main character and Yasuke as DLC, Problem solved and everyone is catered to.
But Ubisoft is too stubborn, Got to get it out for those shareholders, Problem is if it doesn't sell then those shareholders are going to lose anyway.
Miyamoto musashi was a kid around this time, that said there's plenty of oda samurai they could have used instead of yasuke.
Well it's not like Ubi is being historically accurate anyway, Especially with Yasuke, At least Miyamoto Musashi would be welcomed from Japanese players.
Yasghey Floyd is too ingrained in the story to remove them probably according to ubisoft so they would rather lose money than admit they are wrong.
I personally think its an calculated move because NO one can be this stupid… My guess – The "brothers" dump the stock value, tencent buy it for well 10 cent and then they fire the didn't earn it hires along with the freakshow, then they can earn billions again.
Does Tencent needs Ubisoft THAT much?
Well business is all about earning money no? What is an easier way than devalue a company by doing the exact the opposite its customers wants for a while, buy it up for dimes, then start to deliver what the customers want again and see its value rise again?
It's a common tactic the chinese and a certain other group that has been claiming 6 million since the 1800's use to perform a hostile takeover of businesses and companies, do subversive tactics to weaken them enough so you can forcefully take them over.
Pentagon Adds Chinese Social Media Giant to Military Blacklist
Tencent’s shares plunged nearly 10 percent after it was designated a military company.
Too late.
Fail to see anything new or ground breaking. you either play as this ugly roastie or soberFloyed.
well, its pretty and it seems to have large forts to explore, i like having gigantic japanesse castles and the better movement is great but thats about it. if anything the ac series have really gone downhill and not improved at all so by comparison this game looks like how ac games should have looked years ago in terms of graphics and new stuff but still its not much. This is why people dont like ubisoft.
If you played one ubisoft game, you played them all.
completly true.
TBH this has nothing to do with AC or the series. big japanese castles wont help if the core mechanic and the game itself is just pure s**t.
well you can parkour, what else you want? Yasuke cant even do that…ahahahhahah he cant climb anything…or sneak…in a assasin creed game.
where is yasuke? Oh wait i forgot he cant le parkour, there was a video that he tried to climb something and feel and hurt himself. He does not belong in this game.
Which game does he belong to then? Let met guess, 2k's NBA games? You racist a*shole!
yes
Yasghey tried to jump into a hay bale and did not land gracefully.
Color palette looks kinda off.
Don't ever forget, AC didn't become sh*t because of wokeness, it became bad mainly because the devs are incompetent and completely disconnected from their audience. The wokeness is just a headshot for the already dead body
i just watched a video on the topic, the dude said that the series became less serious and less about assasins over time and turned into a open world rpg that threw away the original storyline and it was odyssey that caused the divide in the fandom.
True but in my opinion it all started with blackflag, not a assasins creed game, the story was boring, there was nothing to climb and all you did was sail and go into samey repettive naval battles, the moment people accepted this, they started to tone down the story elements and made it about separate stories in the past, nothing to do with the modern day setting and slowly started to gut the parkour system and add rpg elements. Seems to me i was right.
The dlc was all about slavery also.
yeah and i remember seeing a kotaku article on how great that dlc was an i was like "what can this dlc do that the main game didnt that is so great?"
Apparently you blow up french slaveers with a blunderbuss and free their slaves.
LMAO, so its not the gameplay, its the journalists wetting themselves at that idea.
Remember its all about propaganda because they made it standalone meaning you didnt need the main game to experience this.
Ubisoft was slowly adding woke things to it for years but people kept ignoring it until it got to this point.
yeah, the point i couldnt ignore it anymore was with odyssey. They changed a bunch of amphora so they are more feminist. lmao.
Nope. Will wait for the next Assassin's Creed.
Anyway, this series is only good every two games or so, have you noticed?
…
Unity: Good
Syndicate: Bad
Origins: Good
Odyssey: Good
Valhalla: Bad
Mirage: Good
Shadow: Bad (come on, we already know it's going to suck 🤣)
etc.
What an inconsistent developer.
I hope the next one will be good, but I'm afraid they're running out of ideas and interesting locations.
apparently this game is made by junior devs straight out of dev school.
UBI even brags 1/2 the devteam never made a game before so yeah
I think fleekazoid said it best, black flag is the best game and the game that ruined the series.
Black flag was such a success, that ubisoft decided to change their entire formula to focus around it's style.
Origins, Odyssey, and Valhalla all outsold Black Flag by a considerable margin.
They did, but it was black flag’s success that made them come into being.
I suppose another way to put it is black flag made assassin’s creed mainstream, yes assassin’s creed was very popular before that, but black flag is the game that set the standard for the series going forward and is part of the reason it’s stagnated over the years, this doesn’t mean origins, odyssey or valhalla weren’t good (i haven’t played them so i’d be a hypocrite to comment there ) but what made the series a success has slowly been forgotten because of how much they relied on the formula black flag pioneered because at least from a outsiders point of view, the games are essentially the same game since black flag, with different stories and more “modernism” added in.
This has plagued more series and companies than ubisoft and assassin’s creed, but to me assassin’s creed is one of the more obvious cases.
The hexen one about the lezbo witches? That is not going to be any better.
They could show how to jump of a cliff and not do a leap of faith… because my bet is that's about how well this game will sell. UBI slop… proud to say over half of the devteam of this game never made a game before!
TWDR. I'm just here for the comments.
Then read this :
Muhammed liked them young.
so did epstein.
Jeff was an annocent Jewish man, he definitely killed himself so we can live sin free bro.
he loved everyone, especially little girls.
After all the backlash …im extremely surprised this is going to be launched anyway …wow
During black history month. Not a coincidence.
The over the top animations look so silly, especially the flips…is so dumb. Beside those couple of new animations, it looks like the same on-rails parkour since Origins.
Absolute crap. There's nothing new about this "parkour system"
Looks pretty tame compared to your average Japanese martial arts movie
It looks like a joke in a game that tries to represent an "authentic" portrayal of that time. Is still historical fiction, you would expect some grounded aspect…but then again, you have a "shinobi" with the stereotypical outfit of a ninja when in reality there was no such thing.
Besides of being realistic or not, is just looks dumb.
All that's missing is a nice healthy dose of hip-hop in the OST.
Bring it on, My Sweet Baby!
yeah like prince of persia.
How many people know that during this period the Samurai's primary weapon was still a long bow and they were primarily mounted warriors which made using their two handed katana's virtually impossible. The Katana was basically a weapon used to finish off an enemy after you dismounted or were dismounted by an enemy and not a primary weapon.
For 20 years I've dreamed of Ass Creed going to Japan, Now that its happening, I have NO INTEREST in supporting these Anti-Gamer/Anti-humanists.
