In the thrilling world of Assassin's Creed, Shadows is set to transport players to the heart-pounding setting of 16th century Japan during the sen Goku period. This time around, we're not just getting one protagonist, oh no, we're getting two - Yas and Naoi, each bringing their own unique combat styles and specialties to the table. Stealth, my friends, is back with a vengeance in Shadows, promising a return to the series' roots with new mechanics like dynamic light and shadow gameplay that will have you on the edge of your seat.
But that's not all, folks. The parkour system has been revamped to offer a more strategic and considered approach to movement. No more mindless climbing every surface in sight - now you'll have to pay attention to handholds and climbing spots like a true assassin. And when it comes to exploration, Shadows is shaking things up by ditching the usual marker overload in favor of a more organic experience. Viewpoints will only highlight nearby points of interest, leaving the rest up to good old-fashioned exploration or other clever means.
As if that wasn't enough to get your adrenaline pumping, Shadows introduces a new season system that will bring changing environments impacting gameplay. From enemies spotting your footprints in the snow during winter to abundant hiding spots in the spring, you'll have to adapt to survive. And let's not forget about base building - yes, you heard me right. Just like in Valhalla, players will be able to customize and expand their hideout, adding a whole new layer of depth to the game. With a map size comparable to Origins and a main story length ranging from 30 to 50 hours, Shadows is shaping up to be a true masterpiece in the Assassin's Creed series. And the best part? No season pass required - the first expansion is free for all pre-orders. So buckle up, fellow gamers, because Assassin's Creed Shadows is about to take you on the ride of a lifetime.
