Assassin's Creed Shadows characters

Shinobi or samurai?

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.

Shinobi assassin: Naoe

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.

Legendary samurai: Yasuke

As the 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.

Assassin's Creed Shadows Deluxe Edition

Get more with the Assassin’s Creed Shadows Deluxe Edition, featuring legendary gear and weapon sets for both Naoe and Yasuke, a legendary mount, and trinket. You’ll also unlock four unique ornaments to customize your hideout.
