═════════ Official Info ════════
Live the intertwined stories of Naoe, an adept shinobi Assassin from Iga Province, and Yasuke, the powerful African samurai of historical legend. Against the backdrop of the turbulent late Sengoku period, this remarkable duo will discover their common destiny as they usher in a new era for Japan.
Discover the captivating open world of feudal Japan, from spectacular castle towns and bustling ports to peaceful shrines and pastoral landscapes. Adventure through unpredictable weather, changing seasons, and reactive environments.
As the quick-witted and agile Naoe, use noise, light, and shadows to evade detection as enemies respond to their changing surroundings. Distract guards using kunai, shuriken, and smoke bombs, infiltrate enemy bases with your grappling hook and parkour skills, and assassinate your targets with the hidden blade.
As the charismatic samurai Yasuke, strike your foes with brutal precision and power. Use his combat-oriented skills to attack, block, parry, and defeat your enemies. Master the vast arsenal of weapons at your disposal - featuring katana, kanabo, bows, naginata, and more - to free Japan from its oppressors.
Travel the world, explore, and scout your surroundings to gather vital intel. Build your network of spies to be your eyes and ears across locations to unveil new areas and hunt down your next target. Along the way, recruit several allies with highly specialized skills and abilities to help accomplish your missions.

🥷 What do you think of all this new info then? *Would love to hear your honest thoughts & opinions down below* 👇🏻 🎁 Subscriber Giveaway Comp 👉🏻andyrlds.gg/acjapan

[@soloro8858]

Looking good so far Andy, hopefully we get a solid gameplay showcase at ubi forward (as you say) to get a full understanding of this game.

[@AndyReloads]

@@soloro8858 yeh mate, I hope we get a proper breakdown on that, I think we really need to see what the devs have been cookin!

[@abhishekroy7722]

Depending on gameplay we can decide to buy it or not

[@abhishekroy7722]

@@PuppetMasterdaath144 sorry to hear about it

[@TheManofDuck1]

​@PuppetMasterdaath144 I feel that they probably didn't steal money from a customer try reaching out to them and if they say no perhaps take legal action? (IM NOT A LAWYER DO NOT TAKE THIS COMMENT AS LEGAL ADVICE)

[@timhusson6934]

I really love these no-nonsense breakdowns you do Andy, it gives me a solid idea of what we can expect; instead of 20mins of complaining, rage-bait and false info which I feel KZbin is just full of these days. Keep up the great work my friend, it's genuinely appreciated.

[@soloro8858]

Couldn’t agree more, I’m just tired of hearing about how this is already a terrible game when we haven’t seen any gameplay yet, so much sensationalism online. That’s why I always watch Andy after news like this, no rubbish, purely well thought out info and no filler.

[@AndyReloads]

Cheers Tim, this has honestly made my week mate lol KZbin is a wild place but if this video has genuinely helped you to make a more informed decision, then its worth it for me. thanks again for the kind words dude, looking forward to making more for you

[@iamthenati]

I was jumping for joy 10 years ago when we got a dedicated crouch button in Unity. I nearly lost my mind finding out we can go prone lmao.

[@TheTruthAmongUS]

Right I'm about to become even more extra at stealth with that

[@indiana_holmes]

One thing I hope they implement with this lighting emphasis is the possibility for guards to spot your shadow. Like when you're running on a roof and the sun casts a shadow on the floor in front of a guard, they should get alerted. I'd love that dynamic!

[@thangngudxop]

Or the season things, when it snow, you leave footprints on the snowy ground, which guard can notice, suspicious and spot you. Like what they did in Shadow Tactics: Blade of the Shogun, a stealth Japan-setting strategy game also.

[@davidfromdamountain]

These mechanics would be amazing you guys! But I don't think we'll see something like that anytime soon. I have only built games on a very amateur level but I think that is an incredibly hard thing to do.

[@indiana_holmes]

@@davidfromdamountain I agree, but wishful thinking 😉

[@claverol1]

Man I gotta say never change Andy please, I loved the last video you posted about the hidden details because after watchin the comments on the trailer from Ubisoft I was hopeless about KZbin (regarding all the Yasuke stuff, since I basically don't care, I can have X opinion, but man, saw your vid and I simply forgot about all that and focused on what really hooks me, gameplay, setting curiosity and all) , but then I get back to your vids and learn real stuff and curious things I missed out or didn't know about and make me get back to my 15yo self back in the days of ACII and gets me excited as I was back then dreaming about an AC set on Feudal Japan I know this Ubisoft may be different at least when it comes to narrative content on its games compared to Ac I & Ezio trilogy but at least gameplay wise Shadows looks like it could really be so much fun and hours to be spent enjoying so yeah anyway I wanted to thank you so much for creating this stuff and looking forward to all we can enjoy and learn together here with this new game mate 💪💪❤

[@HenryHotspur]

[@soloro8858]

Great video Andy, thanks for putting this together. Really excited about the weather (sounds sad I know lol) but having the world change through different seasons and then seeing that effect potential hiding places/stealth missions sounds fantastic!

[@AndyReloads]

Great to hear mate, thanks for letting me know you enjoyed the vid/it was helpful for you! I know what you mean though lol, I'm interested to see how this changes throughout the game, perhaps on a 1hour timer of somesort? if so, what if we're in the middle of a mission or tracking a target out in the world, does that instantly change? e.g do bushes go from full foliage to nothing? haha, I imagine not, but I wonder how they've made this work so it's not obvious if you know what I mean?

[@jadeonyx9349]

Water also freezes so u can go prone and go into the water or lake to hide in the summer etc, but in winter that water will be frozen over and u can’t hide there anymore. And wind and rain hides sound too, and if u r on rooftops in summer your good to go, but in winter ice sickles can fall off if u move in wrong spot or too fast and the ice sickles will fall off and alert enemies. And much more, read the article that breaks it all down. This game sounds like it actually has brand new ideas I’ve never seen implemented in a game before. I’m super excited!

[@The-KGC]

This will be so much better than Mirage, looking forward to it 😀

[@AndyReloads]

haha I hope so mate because I really enjoyed Mirage and if they build/take some of the awesome stuff from that game and add it into this one (and then develop it further) we're in for a banger! Let's wait for gameplay though lol

[@MrRaxicorniopholus]

Mirage was great so if this is better then it’ll be amazing

[@The-KGC]

it's a bit funny how everyone is cool with fact that Ubisoft still does microtransactions in single player games

Here in Australia we are getting ripped off. The ultimate edition is $189.99

[@isaiahgadberry]

Dude, great video. I’m so hyped for this. This is gonna be the first ever collectors edition that I pre-order!

[@UserNot_Known]

Thanks Andy, I’ve been following you since the Mirage era lol. Very excited to see this game!

[@AndyReloads]

great to hear mate, hope the video helped iron out a few things for you & me too, super pumped to see some gameplay, really hoping we pick that up in a few weeks time at Ubi forward but let's wait and see lol

[@Virtual_Sphere_]

Thanks for another great video Andy. You're amazing as always.

[@sneakyakdude7526]

I would really love to see a system similar to ac3's assassin recruit system(?). Where if for example you are playing Naoe you can call yasuke to make a distraction at the front gate of a fort. Or the other way around where you can have naoe take out gunmen for you.

[@csw1013]

Another no nonsense information video by Andy, love it

[@jamesla1015]

As usual to the point fella👌🏼, I've been away from KZbin for a while but back now so gotta catch up on the videos

[@ssstriderboyz7245]

Sounds cool….one feature that would be cool would be to allow our choices of targets have consequences (i.e kill a minor warrior target reduce the amount of troops in a outpost that have a major target, kill a relative or friend of the target causes the base to be more guarded, killing a target prevents a possible rebellion opportunity between it and a different target, etc)

[@Alex-ir1gu]

Really useful info! Tx Andy

[@AndreaVP_AC]

June 10 can’t arrive any sooner,hopefully we get to see some gameplay of the two protagonist,great video mate as always!

[@dazzaboy04]

I pre-ordered the collector's edition. A map just the same size as Origins is right there in that sweet spot. I can see myself replaying this depending on who i used for what mission. We're going after ninja scrolls now too in place of books of knowledge to hone our abilities

[@HuntressGamer]

Thank you ,I do appreciate all the info and that you didnt mention all the fuss the game is causing on Internet. I am really excited about this game,the new mechanics,looking great,cant wait . Wont miss the bird, much more interesting approach . Hyped,but waiting to see sone gameplay. Thanks a lot ❤

[@jwaximus1113]

Honestly, I pre ordered. Ik I shouldn’t because it’s showing ubi people will buy without even knowing the game but, I haven’t been disappointed with AC ever besides syndicate and somewhat odyssey. Odyssey combat was just not for me but I’ve been playing AC since 2007. I am a fan who likes old school ac and new school soo I do fall in the middle

[@ArtistJa2509]

Love the breakdown. One critic, if you’re going to use in game footage (Ghost of Tsushima at 7:54) in a video about another game you should add some caption or annotation to call it out.

[@AndyReloads]

Good shout dude, I'll do this going forward, apart from that, hope the video was enjoyable, cheers!

[@andydbedford]

I love samurai genre games, and I cannot wait to play it, I’ve loved origins, odyssey and Valhalla and played the hell out of the through lockdown. And I will definitely be getting this.

good video bro! I'm still not sure if I ll be playing this game, I think I m saving my money for other games,

Already pre-ordered the collectors edition. Always wanted an assassin's creed collectors edition because the statues they come with are always really cool,but always sold out super quick.

[@Hetrochromatic]

Not to correct anyone cause I may fully be wrong but do Premium Ubi+ account holders not get to play the game 3 days earlier ? Same with the ultimate editions etc

[@Notwatchme]

I'm not gonna judge before playing the game

[@DerThorin]

As always, everything you need to know 🤗🤗. Personally, I stick with it, I don't want the gameplay of Valhalla and Mirage. I thought Odyssey or Origins were better...but let's wait for the gameplay to be able to evaluate it all better.

[@luca_lwls]

So far I'm pretty optimistic about this. If the gameplay doesn't turn about to be straight out of Satan's ass, I think this could be a really good time. Looking forward to the showcase. But on a side note, I hate this new trend of giving early access to games when you purchase the premium editions bc I'm really sensitive about spoilers with games I'm interested in and you just know KZbin and X will be full of videos and screenshots about everything in the game so I feel kinda pressured to buy the gold edition bc I don't want all the cool shit to be spoiled for me

It’s gonna be ubisofts biggest failure. Not only did they massage the supposed “real” history to tick DEI boxes, but it’s also written by some 20 something woman with pronouns in her bio. Japanese fans have also pointed out that the architecture and armour etc that we’ve seen is far more Chinese than it is Japanese. So inauthentic. Woke. And historically inaccurate. Enjoy the fire everyone🔥

[@Kurt20051YT]

8:34 As someone who studies Feudal Japanese history, I wanted to point this out. Shields being dishonorable is just a myth. Nearly all weapons that samurai used were 2 handed, so it wasn't possible to carry a shield at the same time. And for anyone reading this, no the katana wasn't the main weapon of the samurai (it was spears, bows and guns later on) and the whole bushido/honor stuff was all made up after the sengoku jidai ended and all the wars were over.
