Assassin's Creed: Shadows' story trailer prepares fans for what's coming

Assassin's Creed Shadows will be decisive for the future of Ubisoft given the current situation of the company. Many of the latest games released by the French publisher didn't quite hit the target when it comes to copies sold for one reason or another and the community of video game players seems to have lost trust in them, even though it's a major actor in the video game scene with a long history of successful releases. The Assassin's Creed series, for example, has always been one of Ubisoft's flagships since it was created, but the development of Assassin's Creed Shadows has been a bumpy ride, at least since it was announced. The release of the game has been delayed two times already and it will now supposedly arrive on March 20, 2025.

Story trailer

Assassin's Creed Shadows promises an exciting adventure set in Japan during the Sengoku period. It will be the first game of the series starring two protagonists, one of them a female. Also, it promises to introduce exciting novelties when it comes to gameplay. However, one of the highlights of the game will be its story as it will be split into two different protagonists, offering two points of view and two ways of interacting with the surrounding world. Ubisoft has released a story trailer for Assassin's Creed Shadows that reveals more details about the upcoming experience. With a country immersed in a civil war and many factions working behind the scenes, a shinobi and a samurai will forge an unexpected bond and become two key actors in the events that will decide the future of Japan. The trailer showcases a beautiful scenario with the backdrop of a brutal war that is the perfect setting for an epic adventure.

It's unlikely that the release date for Assassin's Creed Shadows will be delayed again. Ubisoft has also revealed the system requirements for playing the game on PC, which you can check out here. To play the game in optimal conditions, you will need a GPU which supports Ray Tracing as the game is quite demanding on the higher end.

The upcoming release of Assassin's Creed Shadows will be a sink-or-swim situation for Ubisoft, and it will have an impact that will probably go beyond the future of the series itself.
