Assassin’s Creed Shadows Story Trailer Released

by · DSOGaming

Ubisoft has just released the official story trailer for its upcoming Assassin’s Creed game, Assassin’s Creed Shadows. As its title suggests, this trailer focuses on the game’s story. So, make sure to watch it if you are interested in it.

Assassin’s Creed Shadows takes place in 16th-century Japan during the Azuchi-Momoyama era. In this game, you will live the intertwined stories of Naoe and Yasuke. Against the backdrop of the turbulent late Sengoku period, this duo will discover their common destiny as they usher in a new era for Japan.

The game promises to have spectacular castle towns, bustling ports, peaceful shrines, and pastoral landscapes. Ubisoft also claims that AC: Shadows will have unpredictable weather, changing seasons, and reactive environments.

Earlier this month, Ubisoft shared some videos that showcased the exploration and new parkour system of this new AC game. In December 2024, it also shared more details about its combat mechanics. So, I suggest reading those articles.

Finally, AC: Shadows will not require a mandatory internet connection to play. However, it will be using the Denuvo anti-tamper tech. Since this is Assassin’s Creed we’re talking about, I don’t expect Ubisoft to remove it via a post-launch update. That’s a bummer but hey, it is what it is.

Assassin’s Creed Shadows will be released on March 20th.

Enjoy and stay tuned for more!

Still, the PC platform won him over consoles. That was mainly due to 3DFX and its iconic dedicated 3D accelerator graphics card, Voodoo 2.
