Hyderabad: Ubisoft has announced pre-orders for Assassin’s Creed Shadows. The game is set to release worldwide on March 20, 2025, and will be accessible on Ubisoft+, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Amazon Luna. It will also be available on Macs with Apple Silicon via the Mac App Store as well as Windows PC through the Ubisoft Store, Steam, and the Epic Games Store.
Led by the Ubisoft Quebec, Assassin's Creed Shadows is the next instalment in the Assassin’s Creed franchise. Set in Feudal Japan, the game follows the intertwined stories of Naoe--an adept shinobi Assassin from the Iga Province and Yasuke--the powerful samurai of historical legend.
Players will explore their journeys, encounter pivotal historical figures from the 16th century, and shape the duo's shared destiny as Japan treads a brutal path toward unification. Ubisoft also released a new story trailer for the game, offering a glimpse into the narrative and land in turmoil, fractured by war and threatened by foreign influences.
