I love Ghost of Tsushima, but there were plenty of areas where it could have been better, and I think that’s why they have chosen to take Ghost of Yotei into a different era (300 years orso after Tsushima), into a different region, and with a new ‘Ghost’, cause that opens up those possibilities for improvement, which couldn’t have been done if they had stuck to Jin and Tsushima. Bigger cities, more varied fighting styles/gameplay, etc.
Which brings us to AC Shadows, which is set in the most interesting era of Japan, and in the most interesting region. It will have (at least) two different playable characters, with different play-styles, and probably multiple weapon-styles. Personally, I think AC Shadows is looking very promising, but I’ve always been their target demographic, cause open-world Japan games have always been appealing to me.
AC Shadows will have big cities, different play-styles, it’s set in a fantastic region and in an era of historical importance, lots of historical figures, and when we look at the care Ubisoft has put in post-launch (free) content for games like Odyssey and Origins, we can be hopeful that AC Shadows might get a similar treatment where it takes you on a virtual tour and teaches you all about the culture, the history, the architecture, etc.
I’m expecting both AC Shadows and Ghost of Yotei to be absolutely great. There will be similarities, there will be differences, but I think both will be worth playing, for me at least. I can understand why not everyone would be interested in multiple open world Japan ninja/samurai games, so those people will just choose whichever seems more appealing to them personally, but I’m excited about both games.
