Assassin's Creed Shadows official artwork has leaked
- Thread starter Red Kong XIX
- Start date
Trust me, it's already been going on for months since the initial leaks happened.
It's entirely disingenuous to claim the franchise has had the same gameplay for the past 15 years especially since there has been a massive shift in the past 3(ish) games. Even beyond that you act like the only alternative is souls like gameplay and I really don't think it'd be a smart move for one of the biggest and most iconic video game franchises to shift to a gameplay style that can be very inaccessible to some people. Soulslike games are often great, but the gameplay is very much an acquired taste and not something a well-known franchise should venture into after 15 years of popularity outside of maybe a spinoff.
The wrst Assassins Creed boxart to date.
Considering the setting i was really looking forward to it.

Infinitely less weeby than I expected. I stand corrected, that is some cool looking simple artwork.
I'm sorry for my opinion, I played Valhalla, 3, and Black Flag. I didn't notice many huge jumps and just prefer Souls gameplay.
I am still interested in the setting.

I tend to prefer games where you just play as 1 protagonist primarily (or choose one), though if both characters have distinct play styles, I'd be surprised if missions aren't just designed around one character (perhaps with some that allow an option). Imagine you'd get some choice at least in terms of who you play as for open world content (though again some side content perhaps being exclusive to each character). Curious to see how it pans out.
They look very cool. I would be almost tempted to buy the game if it was complete on the disc and I didn't have to make a Ubisoft account in order to play it like Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown, but I don't trust Ubisoft...
Do AC games tend to require high specs?
Haven't played an AC game but this one might just pull me back in.
If so, I'm in. I wanted Ghost of Tsushima to lean more into the stealth side (a la Tenchu) but it was pretty superficial at that.

I haven't been this excited for an Assassin's Creed game, since the second one.
Please PLEASE be good. šš¼
Also, hopefully there's less KÅga vs Iga stereotype in this, since every piece of fictional media in existence has had this same old fuckin' trope and it's tiring.
I'm 99% sure they'll somehow tie-in the AC lore of Assassin's vs Knights Templar to the KÅga and Iga clans somehow lol

I think this is the second best behind 3. To be fair, AC isn't a series I think off when I think "incredible box art"
The red here is very striking
Thats what im wondering as well while Naoe's hidden blade was shown during the reveal teaser so she def has one, it remains to be seen if Yasuke will also have one, though given the fact that one character is stealth focused and the other is one is combat focused its possible only Naoe will have a hidden blade.
This should have been the way. Get people good and pissed off. I love it!
We don't have to bring up hypothetical chuds every time. Just enjoy the thing.
I already know I'm gonna get this. AC in Japan has long been the dream. But I really hope they scaled it down a bit from the size of Valhalla. And if it's still that size, then it needs to be much, much better than Valhalla.
Here is bit more story info that leaked
STORY DETAILS:
- Yasuke: j0nathan expands a bit more on his backstory. He starts off as a slave on a ship (deviation from bodyguarding a Jesuit in lore?). Said ship is invaded by a group of men (I'm assuming random pirates) and everyoneāincluding his wifeāis killed, and he's left for dead for days before he's found and brought to a temple in Japan. There, he learns about the samurai while in the service of Oda Nobunaga.
- Corroborates an earlier leak of Hattori HanzÅ. j0nathan speculates we'll get to see his death happen since he historically dies in 1597.
- Naoe: Just a repeat of his earlier tweet about her name and backstory about the Order (has to be the Templars, not the Ancients) killing her father (even adds her entire family being added to that in the new video), and that pushes her to join the shinobi/Assassins (he actually says it's unclear to him about whether or not it's join or create, but it has to be join since the shinobi were already active for 200+ years).
Seriously, I don't get why some people here feel the need to do that. Who cares about what these losers cry and bitch about?
Really interested in what the actual game looks like.
Sounds intriguing. Great setting.
I hope it isnt final cuz it looks like keyart but isnt composed like a cover.
Rogue was amazing:
Origins - Kinda set up the scale of the game we were about to play
Odysseys Reversible was dope
Assassins Creed 3 was fire as fuck:
But this one.
Nahhh mane.
Nah.
Come to think of it.
All the pre RPG games had really dope covers.
I loved the composition of them.
Dont worry mane, soulslike combat, if done right, is better than the rest of the other melee focused combat variations.
