We are just a few months away from the release of Assassin’s Creed Shadows on February 14th 2025. As my most anticipated title of 2025, I have been eagerly awaiting any additional details regarding the game.
Today, Ubisoft has answered my call for information by releasing an article which explores the combat of Assassin’s Creed Shadows. If you’ve been following the game for a while, you’ll know that you play as Naoe or Yasuke. Both characters have different strengths that will effect how you choose to play. Naoe for example is a shinobi who is quick and agile but more focused on Stealth gameplay. Whereas Yasuke is a big bruting power samurai, who seems to be much more focused on a ‘all swords blazing’ combat approach.
Speaking of combat, in Assassin’s Creed Shadows you will have the same Light and Heavy Attacks we’ve seen in the series for the last few entries. Light Attacks while quick and nimble, do less damage and leave you vulnerable to certain enemy types that can power through these attacks to deal damage of their own. Heavy Attacks are more powerful and can be used to create space between you and your foes.
