Assassin's Creed Shadows, the next installment in the longstanding Assassin's Creed franchise, is set to deliver an unprecedented gameplay experience with dual protagonists with distinct playstyles in a first for the series. Naoe, the game's stealth specialist, will play like a traditional Assassin from the series' old days. Meanwhile, Assassin's Creed Shadows' Yasuke will encompass gameplay from the franchise's modern era, where intense action largely took precedence over stealth. These two protagonists will undoubtedly call for varying combat and assassination strategies if players hope to get the most out of each character's playstyle.
