Assassin's Creed Shadows - Official 'Who Are Naoe and Yasuke?' Trailer

Assassin's Creed Shadows is an upcoming open-world action RPG developed by Ubisoft. Players will be able to embody two distinct characters, a Japanese shinobi, Naoe, and a real-life historical samurai, Yasuke. Hear from Game Director Charles Benoit and Associate Narrative Director Brooke Davies as they breakdown both characters and how they contrast with each other to offer a fresh gameplay and narrative perspective from both shinobi and samurai. Assassin's Creed Shadows launches on November 15 for PlayStation 5 (PS5), Xbox Series S|X, and PC.

Yasuke was a Samurai... No he wasn't, he never reached the Samurai rank

[@Igor_Verheul]

Will this game be more like ac Odyssey, valhalla, etcetera, or more lik the old ones?

[@ashenpanda]

Come on brother it’s Ubisoft..I think you already know the answer

[@SStingray]

its a rpg

[@AttackOnTitanlover1999]

Can’t wait to buy this game and using all of the cosmetics that they never have in historic Japan

[@X1304d]

Yeah, because he is black, This Sword bearer, court jester is more important than all the Japanese male Daimyos of the era. More important than Sanada Yukimura, the first soldier. More important than Hatori Hanzo, the legendary Ninja for Tokugawa.

[@W0LF2612]

esg money most important

[@MaxIronsThird]

Kunoichi you mean?!

[@irishchancer2687]

Hide in the crowd , there he is get him 😂

[@echad6259]

Can't wait!

[@user-cf7ks2bk3f]

흑인이 실제 역사 속에 있었던 인물은 맞는데 첫 아시아 작품인데 주인공을 흑인으로 할 이유가 있냐? 그냥 NPC로 나오면 되자나 그리고 지금까지 어크시리중에 실존 인물이 주인공으로 등장한 적이 한번도 없는데 왜 이번에는 주인공으로 나오냐

[@ComicBookJunkyXL]

Ubisoft disappoints yet again👎. I guess I’ll just wait for Ghosts of Tsushima 2

[@MrGurrenlemfox]

damn so 1 time we are going to japan and they make the 1 of the protagonist a samurai but not native japan , like damn this colonizer mindset , not every one need to be saved by a non native person

[@MYTMIC]

Awesome, looking forward to experiencing Japan alongside Yasuke

[@Threshk]

Imagine if Ubisoft had made an AC game that's set in Africa, but chose to cast a white dude as the main character. Now how do you think us Asians feel about being forced to play as a black dude in medieval Japan of all places?

[@DrReaperJones]

The thing is he is a real person who was technically a samurai in name only as a foot note in suppressed history, Yasuke was a bodyguard or so the story goes and that’s it,

[@noahsaboliauskas7753]

May come as a shock, but there’s two characters And one of them is Asian

[@Fumegaming]

Is this on Steam? No?? Okay, looks like I’m not playing

[@deadaxe1648]

the rouge prince of persia has available early access steam

[@hoeton3]

So the story is no the timeline of shogun's empire.

[@manygatos885]

Wait until the “internet is required to install” on the PlayStation 5 cover 😢

[@ernestw2474]

Ubisoft probably bought Ghost of Tsushima and used some of its elements as reference and inspiration.

[@arcade-gorilla]

wow they really went with that fake yasuke nonsense🤦‍♂️

[@ZHEmaster1]

FFS, finally we are getting an assassin's creed that we have asked for (for many years) and so many people are complaining....

[@ahsokalover117]

Im assuming theyre gonna be allies and not enemies but interesting story

[@DevilCXLI]

Finally in japan 😮😮

[@crypt0sFX]

Why not base it off an actual Samurai?

[@Jman86458]

They did

[@Crocthunder]

Because it would just be like any other samurai game

[@crypt0sFX]

@@Jman86458 He was a servant, not a Samurai.

[@SStingray]

@@crypt0sFX tbf he was a retainer he did have permission to use weapons

[@pablodopaminoso]

Remember that this game is being developed by Ubisoft…. (Don’t pre-order)

[@kyrierice1796]

Dang so what happened to the. Templars and if you play samurai are you even part of the assassins?

[@ernestw2474]

The European Templars arrived in Japan in the middle of 16th century and founded the Japanese Rite.

[@NovaDaGoat]

Like in Ghost Of Tsushima the mongols could be the templars or templars working with the mongols and Samurai and Shinobi as Assassins stopping the invasion

[@stubblefieldJR]

How about just give us a 1 protagonist japanese dude as a Samurai? How bout that?

[@MYTMIC]

It's called Ghost of Tsushima go play it

[@ReplacedByTheEU]

Yosuke is a DEI character

[@dtanobo]

He's a real person.

[@wilkesmcdermid7906]

​@@dtanobosure but he was a retainer not a samurai.

[@k--music]

@@wilkesmcdermid7906 a real retainer. And Leonardo da Vinci wasn't involved in a plot to kill pope alexander but here we are

[@ericmacgillivray537]

Very excited
