Assassin’s Creed fans have been begging Ubisoft to take the series to feudal Japan for as long as anyone can remember, and this year, that’s finally happening. Assassin’s Creed Shadows will take players to 16th century Japan later this year, and Ubisoft has released another brief trailer for the game to highlight its setting.
The trailer showcases glimpses of various different locations from the game’s open world map, ranging from snowcapped mountains and lush bamboo forests to gorgeous waterfalls, shrines, bridges, and more. It’s certainly looking like the game is going to take advantage of the natural diversity of its setting to great effect. Check out the trailer below.
Where the map’s size is concerned, Ubisoft has confirmed that the game’s world will be smaller than that in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, instead being comparable to Assassin’s Creed Origins’ map.
Assassin’s Creed Shadows launches November 15 for PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC.
