Shinobi and samurai detailed.

Ubisoft has revealed a first proper look atAssassin’s Creed Shadows, and detailed the game’s dual protagonists.

Initially, it seems, the two are adversaries - but the pair soon find common ground.

Assassin’s Creed Shadows main characters Naoe and Yasuke.

Yasuke arrived in Japan in 1579, which is when the events of Shadows begin.

Her father is the historical figure Fujibayashi Nagato.

The two characters represent two different approaches to the game: the combat-heavy samurai, and the stealth-focused shinobi.
