Assassin's Creed has captured the imagination of fans with its unique stealth gameplay, interesting overarching story, and historical settings and characters since its original release back in 2007. The long-running series features espionage, climbing, stealth, and the iconic assassin's hidden blade, and this has inspired fans to imagine an entry set in Feudal Japan, where players can step into the shoes of a ninja character, infiltrating Samurai castles and using shinobi tools and weapons.
