Ubisoft’s highly-anticipatedAssassin’s Creed Shadowshas been delayed twice now, but it seems like the delays were necessary because the studio is eager to give players an outstanding experience. As we approach the game’s release date, one of the game’s directors, Charles Benoit, talked about the game’s protagonists.
Assassin’s Creed Shadowswill feature two protagonists: Fujibayashi Naoe, a female shinobi, and Yasuke, an African samurai inspired by the historical figure. Benoit explained that due to the distinctive combat styles of both the characters, there are a few parts in the game where the situation will favor Yasuke over Naoe and vice versa. Naoe, being a shinobi, is a stealth specialist while Yasuke has a more aggressive combat style.
Assassin’s Creed Shadowswill sometimes favor Yasuke over Naoe
Assassin’s Creed Shadowswill allow players to explore 16th-century Japan through the eyes of two protagonists: Fujibayashi Naoe and Yasuke. Recently, one of the game’s directors, Charles Benoit, appeared for an interview withScreenRantto talk about these exciting characters. During the conversation, Benoit explained that in some situations, one protagonist will be better than the other because of their different combat styles,
It’s more about when something is playable by both characters, we wanted it to be doable for both characters. And sometimes, yes, it will be a bit more in favor of Yasuke because you’re forced into a fight, so that would be more, it’s easier with Yasuke. But we try to not put all the strongest archetypes, so it’s still manageable with Naoe. But habitually, when we make you choose, we have something that is a bit more stealth with Naoe and a bit more fight with Yasuke.
Players can progress through the game with any character but using the right protagonist for the right missions would make things easier. For example, using Naoe for missions that require players to be silent and sneaky would be much more sensible.
