Character switch is like Assassin's creed syndicate there is no choice for you

[@ryanpower1291]

If they wanted to use a real person there's thousands of actual Japanese people they could have choose, and yet they chose Yusuke. I mean it's obvious why they did it. Now depending on how they incorporate him into the story I think it could definately work and be fine, but it's the choice was politically motivated theres no going around that. I'd say being a African American in Japan would be pretty easy to spot you in a crowd, but then again in most games i feel it would be pretty easy to spot some guy in a all white cloak so can't really try and use logic on that one. Will have to wait and see how it all pans out I'm sure some people won't buy it but it's hard to tell if they were people that were going to buy it anyway. Not really anyway to seperate people who have never played a single AC game in their life versus someone who has played them all on twitter

[@kineex3444]

@@ryanpower1291 I think the choice of Yasuke is very controversial. It would have likely been best to make Yasuke a side character, like most historical figures are in AC games. I think instead having a real japanese samurai would have been a better choice. Sneaking would have not been an option for Yasuke's character regardless because his playstyle is meant to be a fighter and a tank. Was the choice of Yasuke political? I don't know, but if it is it's a scummy move from Ubisoft. I'm not one to judge without evidence lol

[@Lord-Regent-of-the-Imperium]

I personally think it would be really cool if they leaned into the differences in playstyle between the 2 playable characters. Say there's a lord that needs to be killed. The Shinobi character can do stuff like employing spies, scouting the area, disguising as things like geishas, feeding guard dogs meat to make them like you, etc. Meanwhile Yasuke, being a samurai, can just walk in and demand an audience, if he fails to get an audience he can go around the lords lands and do some knight questing by slaying problematic beasts, clearing bandits, or getting a gift for the lord. Once he's in the building he can talk to the lord, and either persuade him into an action like hunting a dangerous bear only to leave him to get mauled, tell him about a dangerous bandit hive, or pursue a lord that you already talked to and schemed with. Alternatively you can also challenge them to a duel. This potential Yasuke gameplay loop can also be a great way to test the waters for more games where you play as a templar and do templar type things to do objectives. I think this would be very cool because I don't think theres many games out there that focus on social manipulation like that beyond some surface level stuff and cutscenes.

Although I’m guessing there’ll be certain missions where we have to play as a particular character, but I’m really hoping Naoe doesn’t get sidelined like Evie did in Syndicate. Also is slightly concerning that the Assassins aren’t shown or mentioned really in the trailer, and the devs seem to be exclusively referring to Naoe as a shinobi, rather than an Assassin.

The Brotherhood is an organization, with people taking up different roles. Not everyone was a field agent, and I think that espionage was the biggest part. Yasuke might not be nimble, but he is still an aristocrat, and in Oda Nobunaga's circle of trust, which allows him to have access to info barely anyone would have access to. Imagine him basically having Watch Dogs Legion or Hitman-like stealth, where his 'disguise' is what gets him unnoticed.

It would definitely make sense as well from a gameplay standpoint when playing as a warrior. I too am more inclined to stealth so I could imagine sneaking my way through the area and completing sub-objectives to weaken the faction's hold as one character, then letting the other take part in battles or skirmishes. It would play perfectly well and properly encourage you to play as both characters (else I will probably be sticking to the stealthiest character by default 90% of the time).

When the Japanese Assassins made contact with Nobunaga, he was sympathetic to their cause and promised an alliance once he had unified his country. However, after he came into possession of a Sword of Eden, the possibility of an alliance was compromised. The Assassin Yamauchi Taka subsequently killed Nobunaga on 21 June 1582, when the daimyō's vassal Akechi Mitsuhide betrayed and attacked him at Honnō-ji in Kyoto. Taka retrieved the Sword and brought it to Liu Yan, who transported it to China. After Nobunaga's death, his vassal Toyotomi Hideyoshi took over the mantle of conquering the land. I'll be upset if they have a recon

[@J.F.331]

I just read the wiki and there’s quite an inconsistency here. It says that Nobunaga comes into possession of the Sword of Eden, but not sure how this occurs. The lore tells us that the Sword of Eden was placed in the secret chamber in Paris by Jacques de Molay’s advisor in 1307. Was it somehow was taken from there and brought to Japan some 270 years later and then to China and then returned to Paris later for Germain to find it toward the end of AC Unity? I know the lore says there are other swords of Eden but it also says their location is unknown.

[@mrjhong7413]

@@J.F.331 I think this refers to the sword of eden that Genghis Khan have. It looks different from the one we saw in AC2 and Paris, but I don't see any information about where it went after his death. Only that hes grandson kept it, so it looks more real to coming to Japan.

[@theadmiral4157]

​@@mrjhong7413yep. Pretty sure the sword of Eden went unwittingly to Japan. Khoblun Khan, the grandson of Genghis Khan, at some point went to Japan and tried to conquer it. So yeah it's possible it just happened to have been brought to japan

I was combing the comments section hoping someone would point this out🙌🏼 He should be saying Brotherhood, as you stated, a Creed is a set of beliefs, not a name for a group. If anything, the creed is in here a little bit. He’s right though, would be nice to see the Brotherhood feature heavy in the game

I just hope it feels good to stab and hack people in this game, and that the blood effect looks pretty, and I can take pretty photos in the game world. I hate Ubisoft and I hate myself for being a pathetic AC fanboy but I'm not sure if I won't buy their product at full price while cussing at them, again... as I did with Mirage. I don't care anymore. As long as the view looks pretty and the killing feels good. What story? lmao. It's a depressing world and pleasures should be simple.

As someone who’s played ALOT of odyssey. I’m okay with sasuke not having the HB. It will help to make him feel even more different from na wei. I wonder if it’ll actually be like odyssey and he’ll just have something else to assassinate with.

[@J.F.331]

There is quite a bit information concerning the Japanese Brotherhood on the Assassins Creed Wiki especially for the time period of the game. The Assassins will have to play a bug role in this game if Ubisoft is be consistent with the lore already written. We are told the that Jesuit missionary Francis Xavier was also a templar (1549). It is said that the Assassins prevented a lot of the Templar influence for almost 30 years. By 1578 the templars inducted the daimyo Uesugi Kenshin who was then assassinated by Hattori Hanzo. By the 1590’s the Templars recruited Kunoichi Mochizuki Chiyome who was once an assassin but became a Templar. Not sure how many years Shadows is going to cover.

[@Jylstin]

I think the thing that Excites me the most is The New Engine, Lowkey Convincing me that shadows might have a different feel and gameplay from Origins to Mirage but i doubt it. I really hope this game is good and makes me get back into the series as i havent loved AC since syndicate

[@marcusclark1339]

it won't be

[@Newera1047]

It’s not a new engine they uprgraded it for this game because this is the first current gen exclusive

[@kristianwilliams6665]

from what i have seen the japanese brotherhood should be very young at this point as it was formed in the mid 16th centery when this game takes place so hopfully thats why it hasnt been really touched upon just yet.

[@johnweaver311]

Improve the parkour from Mirage, and completely overhaul the combat from Mirage. No more parry-based combat. Give me kill streaks again! The Assassin focus ability Basim had was cool, but poorly implemented from a lore standpoint. If they want to do that again, they need to take a page from Arkham Knight and have Noae only be able to chain kill in clusters, and have it trigger a high-speed cinematic to actually show her speed. It looks and sounds good, but the jury is still out. I'm hoping for the return on gadgets, and for Japanese katanas to snap like sticks against European swords.

[@dasarchiv3508]

Problem was that the engine just wasn't good for parkour. They did the best out it for mirage. We'll see what the "new" engine is capable of

[@aks19880]

There should be AC and Templar order since the game is taking place in the 1600s or 1500s(I don't remember) but both the creed and order were already established by then. So we should see them otherwise it would make no sense why Naoe wears a hood. Maybe after her village gets raided, she joins the creed, while Yasuke will probably start off as a templar but gradually move towards becoming an assassin.

[@888games]

Never knew they meant to release it that early

[@ticcerz1790]

So many people are wrapped up in the political side of this game and complaining about the historical accuracy of yasuke, but everyone is ignoring how fun this game looks like its gonna be.

[@armardus6049]

Ubisoft need a protagonist that is on par or better than Ezio/Altair/Connor this game has so much potential if they keep it to its timeline no teleporting no iron man robotic suits just simple parkour and japanese themed assassinations

[@Beppls]

definitely go watch Shogun fx. Its story takes place around the same time as Shadows and features similar story elements such as a foreigner discovering Japan for the fist time

Im still not sure about Yasuke, Ubi says he is historically acurate but i have my doubts, Yasuke was a servant and retainer (not a Samurai) to Oda Nobunaga , did Ubi choose Yasuke for "more Diverse"??? Idk it is weird imo...

[@MultiKamil97]

Of course, it's the only excuse they could have to put a black character in the game. And you know what would happen if there wasn't any black character. Sweet Baby Inc. and people like them would boycott the game for being racist. Though I think Sweet Baby Inc. had its share in making this game.

[@FrostbitexP]

Retainers to a figure like Oda is a very very high level. Its not clear if hes samurai, but to be a retainer for Oda, it could have been a real possibility. At the very least, If Oda wasnt killed, Yasuke almost certainly would have been Samurai

[@ronny2shoes]

^ No. you’re just making shit up. Yasuke was not a samurai and he only lived in Japan for like a year before he was sent back to Africa.

[@switch209gaming]

Sweet baby Inc had a hand in “consulting” Ubisoft with what they “need” to add to this game, so obviously they did this because of their DEI agenda/narratives, but Ubisoft will hide behind the excuse of “historical accuracy” to save face.

Honestly just worried about assassin involvement. All the behind the scenes videos talking about the game didn't mention the brotherhood once. Expecting a Syndicate situation where Naoe goes rogue from the brotherhood to pursue her own goals.

Assassin's brotherhood doesn't seem to be a main focus for Ubisoft these days.

@@MultiKamil97they are joke. Switching from brotherhood Vs Templar focus to char focus but the chars are flat and boring just like the stories. At least everything after Origins

[@jonathandiaz-ferro2754]

So I've been having a theory about how the brotherhood is going to be in the game. My assumption is that the Japanese brotherhood have been hunted down and wiped out permanently without a trace, but Naoe and Yasuke will revive it by discovering some kind of old ruins or old scrolls of the brotherhood. I think they will be the founders of the Japanese brotherhood of assassin's.

I really really hope this is good, great even. I also hope that at the beginning of the game we will play as both characters on and off, and when they team up we could choose or switch between them in the mission. Stealth also seems interesting, I’m excited for the grapple hook and the dynamic weather. And as someone who beat every game with just the hidden weapons, i will be rocking the hidden blade the whole time. Safety and peace, assassins.

[@GoronMerchant]

Glad they actually made a proper Female lead. Evior really ruined my enjoyment of Valhalla. Odin should be a man, not a woman, it makes no sense. Don’t give players choice, just to get rid of it at the end. 2:50 I hope he gets one in the story. Like Kassandra.

[@calvinmatthews1527]

Ubisoft is great at making game trailers. But when it comes to the actual game itself, hindsight is 20-20.

[@striker0356]

I think the brotherhood storywise came around the time Yasuke did and that he's part of the creed in Europe or Africa So the Templars are part of the European powers wanting trade in Japan and the Assassins are working with the Shinobi through Yasuke. And probably won't see them anytime soon

[@DuFFxGhOsT]

Assassins Creed Shadows looks promising, we got the hidden blade, double assassination,focus on stealth I’m very hyped

[@drewcola731]

[@neonmatt24]

Honestly Ubisoft would have been better served to have gone the route of AC Odyssey and had only one playable character for the main story and it be Naoe but give the player the choice to play as a male or female version. Yasuke should have been just a pertinent character we meet in our journey, perhaps even be a mentor or the person to bring Naoe into the assassin brotherhood. And then in a DLC have him be the playable character like how Basim was going to be in Valhalla.
