Today, social media accounts for Ubisoft's upcoming Assassin's Creed Shadows officially revealed that the game is getting its own tie-in Manga series.
The manga will not be a stylized retelling of Assassin's Creed Shadows' story, however.
The name and background of this new protagonist remains to be seen, as the announcement simply states the following:
Bright red emblazons the background of the manga's cover image, with a stylized version of the classic Assassin's Creed logo splashing dramatically to go along with the mysterious protagonist's dynamic pose as she dual-wields the series-identifier hidden blade and a Katana sword simultaneously.
Previews for Assassin's Creed Shadows have already shown how Naoe, one of Shadows' dual protagonists, receives her hidden blade, adding to speculation about the manga's protagonist and what their story could be, not to mention the way in which it will connect to the story told in Shadows later this Spring.
Of course, given the series' framing device of memories and the Animus, there's always the chance for the Science Fiction aspects to play a part in all this.
We will simply have to wait and see what else Assassin's Creed Shadows will reveal to us in the lead...
