Ubisoft Shared New Assassin's Creed: Shadows Gameplay Details — Hidden Blade Will Become More Powerful

Ubisoft has released a new one-shot review of the gameplay features of Assassin's Creed: Shadows. Players were shown the equipment and progression system for Yasuke and Naoe, and also revealed one of the functions of the hidden blade, which will please fans of the series.

It is expected that both characters will have different skill trees — for combat and stealth assassination. Yasuke will be able to pump up skills for samurai, and Naoe — for shinobi. Some invested points will open access to additional skills for weapons or fighting style.

You can get mastery points for completing tasks in the open world or defeating unique enemies like Samurai Daisho. At the same time, the development of Yasuke and Naoe will be uniform, so that one character does not lag behind the other. And to unlock especially powerful abilities, you will have to perform certain actions — for example, track down a mysterious group of shinobi. Other improvements will be available as the Knowledge scale develops by studying manuscripts or praying in shrines. Upon reaching the sixth rank of Knowledge, players will gain access to a new development tree.

The developers also showed the equipment system. There are five levels for all items — normal, uncommon, rare, epic and legendary. Equipment can also be improved in the forge and even visually changed. There are also special perks for armor and weapons that can even change the style of play.

By the way, the hidden blade in Assassin's Creed: Shadows will once again become the ultimate weapon — it will be able to kill an enemy with one blow.

Recall that Assassin's Creed: Shadows will be released on March 20 on PC, Xbox Series X / S and PS5.

Earlier, Ubisoft reveals all the achievements that can be obtained during the passage. Some copies of the game fell into the hands of players ahead of time — the Internet is already full of spoilers.
