Assassin’s Creed Shadows Will Delight Gamers in 6 Big Ways

What did we like about those Assassin’s Creed games? Obviously the parkour action, the sleuthy, shadowy, stabby, silent kills made us feel super ninja-like. Granted, the original wasn’t necessarily about ninjas like what we’re getting with the upcoming Assassin’s Creed Shadows. But does that mean we’re going to get what we love about the franchise still with this debut?

Of course, concern might’ve washed away some after watching the recently released trailer. And before you know it, you’re stabbed. Killed. That’s what ninjas do. At least that’s what ninjas are supposed to do, right?

You’re probably asking, “Why worry?” We’re in feudal Japan with this outing. This should be a no-brainer. That’s not necessarily going to be the case with some of the Assassin’s Creed editions steering away from the high-perched, parkour action of an assassin taking just one shot for an instant kill.

I mean, these games are not Elder Scrolls or Elden Ring, for crying out loud! We’re serving a particular demographic here — a demographic that, granted, has crossed over to card-game land.
