Following a flurry of pre-announcement leaks, Ubisoft has shared first official details of its feudal Japan-set Assassin’s Creed Shadows – including confirmation of its 15th November release date and information on its various “premium” editions, a physical collector’s edition, and a season pass giving access to two post-launch expansions and an exclusive quest.
Assassin’s Creed Shadows, a full-scale series entry following last year’s smaller-scale Assassin’s Creed Mirage, was confirmed to be in the works back in September 2022 (albeit under the title Codename Red) and comes from Ubisoft Quebec, the studio behind 2018’s lovable Assassin’s Creed Odyssey. As previously rumoured, it’ll feature two protagonists: a female ninja, Naoe, and Yasuke, a male samurai based on a real historical figure.
As part of today’s reveal event, Ubisoft has given a first tease of Assassin’s Creed Shadows in a moody new cinematic story trailer, alongside various other bits of pre-launch information. For starters, there’s that season pass, which’ll provide access to two post-launch expansions and an exclusive quest line available from launch day – none of which have been detailed so far.
