Ubisoft admits that Yasuke arrived after nae in the

One of the peculiarities of Assassin’s Creed Shadows is being able to play with two characters with a clearly different approach: Yasuke and Nae. Coming from the Ubisoft Quebec studio, nothing more illogical since it was they who were at the origin of Assassin’s Creed Syndicate, an episode which already proposed this duality between male and female character. But the developers will not impose anything on the players and the mouth of Jonathan Dumont, creative director of the game, who indulged in some secrets with Screenrant, it will be possible to play with the character we want, nothing will be imposed. At least in broad outline, because some specific missions will impose to embody Yasuke or Nae, for the benefits of script and narration.

For the rest, it will be possible to keep this or that character because Ubisoft does not want to force the player. “We do not impose the players to try to divide the time. So if you prefer a character for any reason, you may be able to play – I don’t know, I will not put a percentage – but a good part of the game using one of them “replies Jonathan Dumont who admits that Yasuke is a character who arrived after the creation of Nae. In reality, we learn that when Ubisoft began to take an interest in the project of an Assassin’s Creed in Japan, it was obvious that the assassin should be a shinobi. But as the project advanced, the developers then imagined more nervous fights and that’s where “The fantasy of the samurai began to emerge” tells Dumont. And for obvious reasons not to throw away what had already been achieved with Nae, it was decided to offer two characters with a different style.

The release of Assassin’s Creed Shadows is expected for March 20, 2025 on PC, PS5 and Xbox Series.
