Experience the dawn of a new era in Japan’s most turbulent age.
Step into the shadows and the light in Assassin’s Creed: Shadows, an epic historical action-adventure set in feudal Japan. Play as Naoe, a swift and cunning shinobi Assassin, and Yasuke, a legendary samurai warrior, whose fates intertwine in a world of chaos and transformation.
Traverse a breathtaking open world filled with life and danger — from majestic castle towns and bustling ports to serene shrines and battle-scarred landscapes. Adapt to changing seasons, dynamic weather, and reactive environments that respond to your every move.
Switch seamlessly between two contrasting heroes with unique abilities and combat styles. Use stealth, agility, and precision as Naoe to outwit your enemies, or unleash honourable power and skill as Yasuke in brutal sword combat. Progress through independent skill trees, gear upgrades, and customization paths for each character to suit your playstyle.
Gather intelligence, build your own network of spies, and recruit allies with distinctive talents to support your missions. Design and personalize your hidden shinobi base, crafting gear, training your crew, and decorating your hideout to reflect your growing legacy.
With its stunning visuals, immersive storytelling, and masterful gameplay design, Assassin’s Creed: Shadows delivers the definitive samurai-era adventure for Nintendo Switch 2 players.
