Assassin’s Creed Shadows is finally here after years of development, and it’s worth the wait for fans of big open-world games with RPG elements in a feudal Japanese setting. The game refines what worked best in previous entries, such as Origins, Odyssey, and Valhalla, while introducing new features like dual protagonists Yasuke and Naoe.
These two characters have distinct playstyles that offer fresh combat and exploration experiences. Players can switch between them to keep things exciting even after dozens of hours. The game’s visuals are stunning on the latest gaming hardware, making it a treat for fans of ninja and samurai action.
The question now is how Assassin’s Creed Shadows will stack up against other big open-world samurai games in 2025, such as Ghost of Yotei. Will this be a samurai showdown or a crowded market? One thing’s certain: Assassin’s Creed fans are in for a treat this year, and anyone who enjoys action-packed open-world adventures is set to have a great time with Shadows.
