Why Indian Gamers Are Excited About the New Assassin’s Creed Game

The latest title in Ubisoft’s famous series, Assassin’s Creed Shadows, has finally been revealed—and it’s already making waves in the gaming world. Set in 16th-century feudal Japan, this new game promises a perfect mix of action, stealth, and storytelling. For Indian fans of the Assassin’s Creed franchise, this game is one of the most anticipated releases of 2025.

In this review from Mobile Gaming, we’ll walk you through what makes Assassin’s Creed Shadows special, what to expect from the gameplay, and why it could be one of the best entries in the series.

A First for the Series: Two Playable Characters

Unlike past titles, Assassin’s Creed Shadows features two main heroes with completely different fighting styles:

Naoe – The Shinobi Assassin

Naoe is all about stealth. She’s quick, silent, and skilled with weapons like kunai, smoke bombs, and grappling hooks. If you love sneaking behind enemies, hiding in shadows, and taking out targets without being seen, you’ll enjoy playing as her.

Yasuke – The Samurai Warrior

Yasuke, based on the real-life African samurai who served under Oda Nobunaga, is a powerful fighter. He uses heavy weapons and strong attacks to defeat enemies in open battle. He’s perfect for players who prefer direct combat.

You can switch between the two characters depending on your mission, offering different gameplay experiences in the same game.

A Beautiful World to Explore

The game takes place during a chaotic time in Japanese history. You’ll explore villages, castles, forests, and snowy mountains—each with stunning visuals. Ubisoft has recreated feudal Japan with amazing detail, making exploration exciting and rewarding.

You’ll also notice seasonal changes in the game. For example, some missions might look completely different in summer vs. winter, adding variety to your experience.

Realistic Stealth and Combat

One of the coolest features of Assassin’s Creed Shadows is the light and shadow system. Enemies can spot you if you’re standing in the light, but you can hide in the dark. You can even put out lanterns to create cover for sneaky attacks.

Combat is also more realistic this time. Every weapon feels different, and each character has their own skill tree, which means you can customize their abilities as you like.

Sound, Music, and Voice Acting

Ubisoft has added Japanese voice acting with subtitles, which makes the game feel more authentic. The background music features traditional Japanese instruments, adding to the immersion. If you’re playing with headphones, you’re in for a treat.

Release and Platforms

Assassin’s Creed Shadows launched on March 20, 2025, for:

  • PlayStation 5
  • Xbox Series X/S
  • PC
  • Mac (via Ubisoft’s new streaming service)

In India, the standard edition is available online and in stores. Ubisoft has also promised future DLCs (downloadable content) to expand the story.

Reviews and First Impressions

Gamers and critics have given Assassin’s Creed Shadows a thumbs-up. Early reviews on gaming forums praise the smooth gameplay, deep story, and the balance between stealth and action.

Many say it brings back the “old-school” Assassin’s Creed vibe but with modern polish.

Final Words

If you’re a fan of open-world games with rich stories and exciting missions, Assassin’s Creed Shadows is a must-play. Whether you love stealth or direct fighting, this game gives you both in a beautiful and historical Japanese setting.
