Assassin’s Creed Shadows Stealth Gameplay Overview Released

Casey Scheld2 weeks ago

The team behind Ubisoft’s Assassin’s Creed Shadows recently provided a stealth gameplay overview for the title’s two protagonists Yasuke and Naoe.

Associate Game Director Simon said the following about Asassin’s Creed Shadows’ stealth gameplay:

“Stealth gameplay in Shadows has been ambitiously overhauled in a few key areas.

First, the most obvious change for AC players will be the lack of a companion eagle allowing you to scout ahead and map out an entire location. In Shadows, players must rely on their main character’s own senses and engage enemies in a more tactical moment-to-moment manner.”

Both Naoe and Yasuke will have access to Assassin’s Creed Shadows’ new Observe mechanic for an easy toggle. Naoe in particular has access to the classic Assassin’s Creed Eagle Vision, working independent from Observe and providing different information.

In Assassin’s Creed Shadows, hiding in the shadows will make one invisible to enemies. It is also important to stay low with crouching.
