Assassin’s Creed Shadowsis the first in the dual-protagonist vein ofUbisoft’s series to actually show both its protagonists in its debut trailer.
Last week,Assassin’s Creed Shadows was finally unveiled with a trailer that showed off its dual protagonists- famed Samurai Yasuke, and stealthy Shinobi Naoe. As reporter Stephen Totilo pointed out onTwitter, the debut Shadows trailer showing both its protagonists marks a huge shift for Ubisoft’s series, which has typically only shown one protagonist in its reveal trailer for a game where two protagonists are featured.
It’s worth noting that Shadows will have the player taking on the roles of both Yasuke and Naoe throughout the game, just like Origins with Bayek and Aya, and Syndicate with Evie and Jacob. Nonetheless, it’s a nice little shift that Ubisoft has put both its protagonists front and centre with the Assassin’s Creed Shadows' debut trailer, instead of entirely side-lining one.
