New Assassin’s Creed Shadows gameplay clips show off its combat mechanics


Ubisoft has shared a number of gameplay clips that showcase the combat mechanics of Assassin’s Creed Shadows. These clips will give you a glimpse at the different combat strategies and weapons that Yasuke and Naoe will have at their disposal.

Assassin’s Creed Shadows takes place in 16th-century Japan during the Azuchi-Momoyama era. In this game, you will live the intertwined stories of Naoe and Yasuke. Against the backdrop of the turbulent late Sengoku period, this duo will discover their common destiny as they usher in a new era for Japan.

Naoe will be quick and agile, whereas Yasuke will be a tank. Naoe will be able to use a Katana, Kusarigama, a tanto dagger and the hidden blade. On the other hand, Yasuke will use a Long Katana, Naginata, Kanabo, Yumi Bow, and Teppo flint rifle.

Both of them will be able to dodge attacks, as well as block and parry. Moreover, they will have special skills and abilities. And, alongside their light and heavy attacks, both of them will have a posture attack.

Ubisoft will release this Assassin’s Creed Shadows on February 14th. The game will not require a mandatory internet connection to play, but it will be using the Denuvo anti-tamper tech.

Finally, Ubisoft has not shared its PC requirements. We also don’t know whether or not it will take advantage of any Ray Tracing effects.

Enjoy and stay tuned for more!
