Assassin’s Creed Shadows gameplay shown off in new trailer

Assassin’s Creed Shadows gameplay was today shown off in a new trailer as part of the Xbox Summer Game Fest livestream.

Assassin’s Creed Shadows will immerse players in 16th century Japan. The country is heading towards a brutal path to unification, and unrest grows as new coalitions appear and corruptive foreign influences infiltrate the land,” Ubisoft said back when the game was first announced.

“Players will experience the intertwined stories of Naoe, an adept shinobi Assassin from the Iga Province, and Yasuke, the powerful samurai of historical legend. Discover their personal stories, meet pivotal historical figures, and shape the duo’s common destiny as they usher in a new era for Japan,” Ubisoft continued.

Check out the new gameplay above.

Update [11 June]: And below! An extended gameplay video was shown at this morning’s Ubisoft Forward livestream, and we’ve got it for you to watch at your leisure.

Expect Assassin’s Creed Shadows from 15 November on Windows PC, Mac, Xbox Series S, Xbox Series X, and PS5. It’s also available through Ubisoft+.
