Ubisoft has today officially revealed the next installment in the Assassin's Creed franchise: Assassin's Creed Shadows. This entry is set in late Sengoku-era Japan and follows the story of two protagonists. The cinematic premier trailer aired today provides a glimpse at the setting:

​

In Assassin’s Creed Shadows, you will live the intertwined stories of Naoe, an adept shinobi Assassin from Iga Province, and Yasuke, the powerful African samurai of historical legend. Against the backdrop of the turbulent late Sengoku period, this remarkable duo will discover their common destiny as they usher in a new era for Japan. From chaos to purpose, from darkness to light. A new Creed rises over Japan.

Assassin's Creed Shadows is slated to launch this November 15 on PC, PS5 and Xbox Series S/X.

Anything from ubisoft is a haaaaard pass!

I'll admit I enjoy Watch Dogs 1 and somewhat Watch Dogs 2 for its gameplay (the story sucks, though).

 

[Cranesbill]

Oooh ninjas!! Anyways fuck this I'm out

 

[LoggerMan]

I hope they bring back sections of the game that allow you to roam modern day Japan too. Probably outside the scope of what ass creed is today, but it would be cool.

 

[Jayinem]

Man, this sucks...

Online only.

LOL hard pass.

They're saying because it needs to constantly be downloading things not on the disc, what a load of bs.

Seems all Ubisoft games might be going this way? Star Wars Outlaws the same.

Speaking of Star Wars outlaws, that game ALSO requires online. Not only that is a huge turn off, but also the Gold and Ultimate editions as well

I said that, it seems like it might be all Ubisoft games going forward. Unless they get heavy backlash and decide to change their minds.

Notice it's not listed for the ps4. Or the switch...

PS4 / Xbox One have been left to starve now, but even so, PS5 doesn't have many games so... Eh

 

[Dokidoku]

• Online Required for Single Player
• Full Price with Microtransactions
• Ubisoft confirmed to be planning on using AI art, assets, and some AI Voice Acting rather than spending money on real peoples work.

Wow this is the height of absolute greed. We need to encourage people to reject and push back against this kind of thing, otherwise it's just going to get worse.

Too bad it's a Ubisoft title.

 

[K3Nv2]

People act like they aren't always online anyway.

 

[bassviolet]

man, hope the story of the MCs are good. i hear about Yasuke, never heard in depth stories on him.

I'll keep it short. Yasuke is served as a servant and retainer of Oda Nobunaga, but Ubisoft turned him into a samurai in this game because of DEI.

They are about, or worse than Nintendo when it comes to anti-consumerism.

Literally reporting people in the UK for possibly saying things that cause hurt feelings.

 

[pedro702]

all these online always game for single player modes are ridiculous , in 5 or 6 years they shut off the servers and no one will be able to play this games ever again... its really sad imo.

 

[Veho]

Assassin's Creed: Sekiro; Nobunaga's Revenge.

Or whatever.

People act like they aren't always online anyway.

People are always online, Ubisoft's servers won't be. As soon as the microtransaction revenue drops, Ubisoft will kill the service and the game owners will be boned.

By then the player usually gets what they want out of it. Or someone will come around with a hax that'll make it playable offline.

Ubisoft is more about political agendas now than historical accuracy.

Some history:

Yeah, silly me for thinking a game could have lasting appeal.

People shouldn't have to hack their games just so they could play them.

They really shouldn't people probably aren't going to pay for this game either.
