Assassin's Creed Shadows Director Reveals Fastest Assassin in the Franchise



Summary

  • Assassin’s Creed Shadows’ Naoe is the fastest assassin in the franchise, able to run quickly and use gadgets for stealth.
  • AC Shadows features the ninja Naoe and samurai Yasuke as dual protagonists with distinct gameplay styles.
  • The game will have a Canon Mode for preset storytelling, and will be similar in length to recent AC games like Odyssey and Valhalla.



Assassin’s Creed Shadows creative director Jonathan Dumont has recently revealed that Naoe is the fastest assassin to be featured in the franchise’s history. The upcoming Assassin’s Creed Shadows will feature dual protagonists: the ninja Naoe and the samurai Yasuke, and Dumont recently talked about what makes Naoe’s gameplay special.

Assassin’s Creed Shadows was originally announced earlier this year. The game was in the middle of a few controversies during the year, including the historical accuracy of some of its buildings, and whether or not the historical Yasuke was a samurai in real life. Back in September, Assassin’s Creed Shadows was delayed to February 15, 2025, as the developers needed more time to polish the title.

Naoe and Yasuke’s weapons in Assassin’s Creed Shadows highlight Ubisoft’s efforts to bridge classic stealth with modern action gameplay.

In a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly, Assassin’s Creed Shadows creative director Jonathan Dumont confirmed that Naoe is the fastest assassin made by Ubisoft so far. According to him, she can run very fast and has several gadgets that will help her avoid combat, which is likely to satisfy gamers who want a more stealth-based approach. Dumont also revealed that Naruto fans will be pleased with how running on top of buildings feels, as the animation has a “little bit of a wink-wink” to the anime’s classic sprinting style.

During the interview, Dumont also talked about how the two Assassin’s Creed Shadows protagonists differ from each other. While Naoe is fast but not as good at combat, Yasuke is bulkier and has a gameplay that resembles games such as AC Origins, Odyssey, and Valhalla. Also, both characters have completely different backgrounds. Naoe, for example, lived all her life in a rural province, and has more connections to the common folk, while Yasuke often deals with the nobility of the period.


As AC Shadows gears up for launch, more information has been divulged to fans about its storyline and gameplay. Earlier this month, for example, Ubisoft revealed that Assassin’s Creed Shadows will have a Canon Mode. In this mode, gamers can follow a preset story instead of making their own choices in the narrative, which may help more indecisive gamers.

Like in most of the recent Assassin’s Creed games, Shadows players can expect a lengthy campaign. In a recent Ask Me Anything on Reddit, a Ubisoft developer revealed that Assasin’s Creed Shadows will have a length similar to Odyssey and Valhalla, which are quite huge, but it’s hard to tell how long it’ll be exactly because gamers can decide how much they want to interact with the open world while playing the game.
