SAN FRANCISCO – JANUARY 23, 2025 – Today, Ubisoft announced that pre-orders for Assassin's Creed Shadows, the upcoming installment in the Assassin's Creed® franchise set in Feudal Japan, are now open.

Led by Ubisoft Québec***, Assassin's Creed Shadows will immerse players in 16th century Japan. Players will experience 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 personal journeys, encounter pivotal historical figures, and shape the duo's shared destiny as Japan treads a brutal path toward unification. The newly revealed Story trailer offers a glimpse into this gripping narrative, showcasing a land in turmoil, fractured by war and threatened by foreign influences. Amid this chaos, Daimyo Oda Nobunaga's relentless ambition will shape the fate of both heroes as they forge a path for a new Creed to emerge in Japan.
