Over the years, the Assassin's Creed franchise has experimented with its approach to protagonists. The first couple of games followed a pretty standard action-adventure model. Assassin's Creed Unity tried to provide more of a co-op experience, and the RPG titles have given players multiple protagonists to control during their journey. That final path would not have been possible without Assassin's Creed Syndicate blazing that trail, but with Assassin's Creed Shadows, Ubisoft has taken the dual protagonist concept to new heights.
