Overview

• Ubisoft has released a 20-minute gameplay walkthrough for Assassin's Creed Shadows, introducing the distinct abilities and styles of its two protagonists, Naoe and Yasuke.
• Naoe is designed as a stealth specialist, excelling in agility, silent takedowns, and parkour, while Yasuke is a powerful samurai adept at open combat but less suited for stealth.
• The gameplay demonstrates how both characters can adapt their styles, allowing Yasuke to attempt stealth and Naoe to engage in combat, though each has clear strengths and weaknesses.
• Players can preview these differences to inform their choice of character when the game launches on March 20, 2025.
• Ubisoft's video emphasizes the duality of gameplay approaches, with Yasuke's slower, more deliberate stealth contrasting Naoe's faster, more agile combat techniques.
