“On the competition related to Assassin’s Creed Shadows, the focus really is to make sure we deliver a fantastic experience with this dual protagonist approach with different and complementary gameplay, with Yasuke and Naoe, in the setting taking place in this feudal Japan, which should be really enticing,” Duguet replied. “All the focus and everything that really informs our decision is to make sure that we polish the game and provide this fantastic promise.”

Ghost of Yotei is still listed as a PS5 exclusive (Ghost of Tsushima only came to PC years later), while Assassin’s Creed Shadows, which increasingly looks like a critical moment for Ubisoft, will be a multiplatform release, so the arena for open-world feudal Japan competition is relatively limited.
