The events of Assassin’s Creed Shadows will unfold in the open world of feudal Japan in 1579. There are two main characters and playstyles – the agile and secretive shinobi Naoe, and the legendary dark-skinned samurai Yasuke.

Assassin’s Creed Shadows will allow you to complete quests for any of the two characters, but there will be moments in the game (like story missions for Naoe or Yasuke) tailored specifically for one or another hero.

According to insider Tom Henderson, Ubisoft currently has a co-op mode codenamed League in development for Assassin’s Creed Shadows.

League is planned to be released after the release of Assassin’s Creed Shadows. The mode does not have an exact release date due to the game’s recent delay, but according to Henderson, the co-op was in the works long before the delay was announced.

Henderson also recalled that Assassin’s Creed Shadows co-op mode is not the only multiplayer experience within the franchise that awaits players. The release of the multiplayer Assassin’s Creed Invictus is planned for 2025.
