Shared leaks include videos of Naoe, the lead character of the game, and visuals from the menu screen of the game. These visuals include details such as the descriptions of the weapon called Death Whisperer and visual setting options used by the main character. Some fans claim that these content are fake and produced using quotes from previous fragments, while others think that these leaks may be real.
For now, no explanation has been made from Ubisoft about early access allegations. However, it is suggested that physical copies may have been accidentally sold by store employees, or access to the game due to a technical failure in the PlayStation Network.
Assassin’s Creed Shadows is awaited with great curiosity with its story in Japan and the new Canon Mode feature. As the official release date of the game is approached to March 20, it is not known how these early access leaks will affect Ubisoft’s plans. Fans are waiting for the official statement from the company.
