Ubisoft posted the music themes of the game.



The new Ezio's Family theme sounds Ennio Morricone inspired, with a bit of Lalo Schifrin mixed in.

I still say that Ghost of Tsushima is one of the most awe and sensational looking games ever made...but have to admit, Shadows is looking pretty darn good....

Tsushima has better "art direction", but this looks like it has more robust detail.

Looking forward to it!

that video makes it look so rich and detailed. Quite beautiful actually.

Earlier today, Ubisoft canceled its online appearance at the Tokyo Game Show due to “various circumstances”; however, Insider Gaming has learned that Ubisoft has also canceled its press previews of Assassin’s Creed Shadows.

Same week as Civ 7 and a week before both Yakuza and new Monster Hunter. I was probably going to wait anyway but that new date guarantees I won't play this game for months after it releases.

re: Assassin's Creed : Shadows (3/20/25)
 
yea...the cancelled Tokyo Show at the last minute and then the Press Show for Shadows was not a good sign...and today we found out why....

Assassin’s Creed Shadows delayed into 2025 after mysterious Tokyo shutdown...Now February 2025 Release Assassin’s Creed Shadows delayed into 2025 after mysterious Tokyo shutdown - VideoGamer

Though disappointed yet not unexpected. Now maybe hope Ubisoft announces an AC Remaster and hopefully Black Flag. Still, the entire Show was cancelled which is another thing entirely.

It's not like there aren't a lot of new games coming out.

Countless old games, too. I recently went back to Valhalla to play the expansion packs and am having tons of fun.

Cool. Don't buy it then.
There, I helped solve your spending problem.

Looks great. :up: I'll wait for a price drop, though, my backlog is stacking up.

No offense but from what I've seen, Ubisoft with the new upgraded ANVIL Engine has done a remarkable if not stunning job on what we've seen. Here is a Tech Demo on the Weather Effects, Seasonal Change, lighting, etc....

This game looks great and I'll definitely get it... I won't really understand how it all ties in to the AC universe and I'll confirm my suspicion that it'll never as good as GoT.

If one looks at the early...AC Universe....which seem to be rooted in Old Europe, yea i can see the question being a good one to ask. however, they started to expand The AC Universe; and rightly so with Early American, Pirates of Carribean, Ancient Egypt, Viking period, Early Rome & Greek so many started to ask about Old Japan/China style of game. The Legendary Samurais were rooted in both Open Combat but also Stealth so one can see they opted for Two Types in Shadows. No, it's probably not going to match GoT (which I Platinum) but I think it'll hold its on. Given the two choices I'll probably opt to play the Female Assassin since it seems to fit a more traditional AC.....

Can you switch back and forth between the two protagonists?

It sounds like it’s similar to Syndicate, where you can switch back & forth and have a lot of freedom, but some missions require the use of a particular character.


We’re introducing our two protagonists one by one, to help you know where they are coming from narratively, what their story is and what leads them to collaborate.

Once they become allies, the players can pursue multiple stories, some personal to Yasuke or Naoe, and some around their common goals. The world and the story’s structure are open, to let you pick the character you prefer and explore the world how you want.

As Adam stated but it appears Ubisoft...at least a rumor....is adding Co-op Mode. Not much details but under codename....LEAGUE. Sounds a bit of taking a page out of GoT with Legends (really like to get back and play this).....

This looks cool : Base-building is part of the game.

This makes me unreasonably excited. I love when games give you the ability to build like that.
