Assassin's Creed Shadows is the latest installment in the Assassin's Creed franchise. Set in feudal Japan, the game features two protagonists: Yasuke and Naoe. As the first Assassin's Creed game set in Japan, Ubisoft is trying to market it as much as possible because fans have been asking for a title in the same setting for years.
To increase its popularity, Ubisoft has decided to release a manga that will act as a prequel to the story of Assassin's Creed Shadows. The manga's story will follow the adventures of a young assassin apprentice as she retaliates against the growing influence of the Templars in Japan. The Assassin's Creed Shadows manga will be released in Japan on March 20, 2025, which is the game's launch date.
At the time of writing, the release date for the English release remains unknown. So, fans in the rest of the world will have to wait for a while to get their hands on the manga. It will likely get an English release by Viz Media in the United States and the rest of the world.
