Ubisoft, one of the most controversial and turbulent companies of recent years, organised a press show for Assassin’s Creed Shadows, which was postponed twice. Ubisoft, which supervised the game for about 3 hours, seems to have received quite good feedback. The company seems to overcome its bad luck if these returns continue. Here are the details
Ubisoft’s risky move is welcomed
As you know, Ubisoft took a big risk by bringing the series to Japan with Assassin’s Creed Shadows. The game’s more RPG elements compared to previous Assassin’s Creed games and the expansion of the open world structure caused concerns among fans. However, the majority of the press members who experienced the game expressed that they found Ubisoft’s ambitious changes successful.

In particular, the new exploration mechanic called Animus Ego will add a different dimension to the Assassin’s Creed universe by offering players the opportunity to experience past events in more depth. Those who have experienced the game state that the historical and cultural atmosphere of Japan is also reflected very successfully.
Game critics, who had the chance to play with the game’s main characters Naoe and Yasuke at the press screening, evaluated the fact that both characters have different gameplay mechanics as one of the biggest advantages of the game. Yasuke is a heavy, powerful warrior who can engage in direct combat, while Naoe is a classic Assassin who hunts her enemies silently as a shadow warrior, adding to the game’s diversity.
Those who have experienced the game also praise the visual world and atmosphere of Assassin’s Creed Shadows. It is stated that every environment, from the towns, castles and rural areas of feudal Japan, has been designed with great care. Especially the realism of lighting, shading and weather conditions seems to be one of the most remarkable aspects of the game…
Assassin’s Creed Shadows will be released on 20 March 2025 for PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S. It remains to be seen whether Ubisoft will take the Assassin’s Creed brand to a new level with this game. However, the first reviews and positive feedback from the press members show that the game has already aroused great interest.
