Ubisoft’s making waves with Assassin’s Creed Shadows, their first-ever Epic Games Store release coming March 2025. You’ll explore feudal Japan through two distinct protagonists – Naoe the shinobi and Yasuke the African samurai – while enjoying Epic’s achievement system and exclusive content. The game packs quite a punch with its dynamic seasons, customizable hideout, and three edition options. And that’s just scratching the surface of this East-meets-West adventure.
While Ubisoft’s latest venture into feudal Japan has been making waves, it’s the game’s potential breakthrough on the Epic Games Store that’s turning heads. With its March 2025 release date looming, Assassin’s Creed Shadows isn’t just bringing ninjas and samurai to your screen – it’s potentially revolutionizing how you’ll track your gaming achievements on Epic’s platform.
Assassin’s Creed Shadows promises to shake up Epic Games Store with achievement tracking while bringing feudal Japan to life in 2025.
You’ll find yourself diving into a richly detailed feudal Japan, where you can seamlessly switch between ninja and samurai playstyles (because why choose when you can have both?). The dual protagonist system features Naoe the shinobi assassin and Yasuke the African samurai, each offering distinct approaches to missions. The game’s development, spread across 14 Ubisoft studios including Tokyo and Osaka, promises an authentic experience that’ll have you building spy networks faster than you can say “shinobi.”
As seasons change and weather shifts in your dynamic open world, you’ll be customizing your hideout and mastering new skills that’ll make even the most seasoned assassin jealous.
If you’re eyeing those fancy editions, you’ve got options ranging from the baseline experience to the Ultimate Edition, which comes packed with the season pass and the striking Sekiryu Character Pack. Pre-order now, and you’ll snag access to the intriguingly named “Thrown to the Dogs” quest – though let’s hope you’re not the one being thrown.
The Gold and Ultimate editions even let you start your journey three days early, perfect for those who can’t wait to start their feudal adventure.
The game’s arrival on Epic’s platform marks a significant shift in Ubisoft’s digital strategy, potentially paving the way for achievement support across future titles. You’ll need at least an Intel Core i7 or AMD Ryzen 5 to run the show, but the payoff includes advanced graphics options that’ll make feudal Japan look stunning on your screen.
With two major expansions planned and additional content through the season pass, you’re looking at an extensive package that combines traditional Assassin’s Creed elements with fresh Japanese flair – all while potentially setting new standards for Ubisoft’s presence on the Epic Games Store.
