Let us remind you that the events of Assassin’s Creed Shadows will unfold in the open world of feudal Japan in 1579. There are two main characters – the dexterous and secretive shinobi Naoe, as well as the legendary dark-skinned samurai Yasuke.

The new Assassin’s Creed Shadows demo showcases the two protagonists’ abilities both during stealth infiltration and in open combat.

In particular, the developers showed the assault on Nijo Castle in Kyoto. To demonstrate the diversity of the heroes, Naoe entered the complex in winter under cover of night, and Yasuke – in broad daylight in summer.

For eliminating the Daisho samurai within the fortress, players will be rewarded with a chest containing a guaranteed legendary outfit for Naoe or Yasuke, which is located under the roof of the main building.
