Ubisoft Introduces Naoe, the Fastest Assassin in Feudal Japan-Set 'Assassin's Creed Shadows'

Launching February 14, 2025, the game features dual protagonists, with Naoe bringing speed and stealth to the Assassin's Creed franchise.

Assassin's Creed Shadows, set in feudal Japan, introduces two protagonists: Yasuke, a powerful samurai, and Naoe, a nimble shinobi focused on stealth and speed.
Naoe is described as the fastest Assassin in the franchise's history, capable of a 'Naruto run' and equipped with gadgets like a grappling hook, kunai, and smoke bombs to enhance her stealth gameplay.
The game explores Naoe's backstory, including her ties to the Assassin Brotherhood through her father, and her journey of self-discovery during Japan's Sengoku period.
Players can switch between the two characters, with Yasuke offering a more combat-heavy playstyle and Naoe catering to fans of classic stealth mechanics.
Assassin's Creed Shadows marks a return to the series' expansive open-world RPG format and will be available on multiple platforms, including PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
