Assassin's Creed Shadows: Who Are Naoe and Yasuke

Assassin’s Creed Shadows takes place in 16th century Japan during the Azuchi-Momoyama era. Players will play as two distinct characters, a Japanese shinobi, Naoe, and - in a series first - a real-life historical samurai, Yasuke. Game Director Charles Benoit and Associate Narrative Director Brooke Davies dive deep into who these characters are, how they differ from a gameplay and narrative perspective, and why they were the perfect fit for Assassin’s Creed Shadows.

ABOUT ASSASSIN'S CREED SHADOWS
In Assassin’s Creed Shadows, you will 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. From chaos to purpose, from darkness to light. A new Creed rises over 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 legendary and 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.

Great to see a black african man in a game set in ancient japan. Truly historically accurate.

[@navidhossain7568]

Great to see dual protagonists

[@graciatiranda]

Rush Hour prequel that we are waiting for.

[@Thehiddenmoran]

Give good stealth (including social stealth, like mirage did a good job at in years) and good story that relevant to the franchise, unlike odyssey and valhalla and I'm happy.

Nice

[@kingoftheverticaldiet1108]

All I want is decent combat and parkour.

[@antoinesauvage5080]

Naoe is a kunoichi

Hopefully we can collect flags like Assassins creed - brotherhood. Or some cool looking animus keys.

everyone: boo no blacks allowed! me:I don't care

[@AloyImpact]

But Yasuke was already apart of Japanese history?

[@TheWunWhiteWolf]

The problem isn’t that a black character is in the game. The problem was that they are treating it as if he were a samurai. He wasn’t. He was a retainer.

@@AloyImpact Not really. The Yasuke depicted here never existed. The real Yasuke was a slave who carried Oda Nobunaga's tools around and was sold to the Portuguese when Nobunanga died.
