The creative director, Jonathan Dumont, just dropped some hints to spark your Assassin’s Creed Shadows. Flashbacks featuring Yasuke and Naoe? Count me in!
Dumont recently shared insights during an interview with Screenrant, revealing how players will engage with side quests in the game. He outlined three types of quests: “objective board or bandits,” “relationship-oriented,” and those hiding behind meditation mechanics. Sounds interesting, right?
The real kicker here is that those meditation mechanics will allow players to dive into the pasts of characters like Naoe and Yasuke. At first, these characters might seem a bit mysterious, but through these flashbacks, you’ll get to know their stories and why they matter in this world.
If you’re a fan of classic hunting missions, the objective board side quests will have you tracking down targets scattered throughout the game. Imagine going after ninjas and samurais instead of your usual foes! On another note, relationship-based quests promise a chance to build bonds with characters. Yes, even romantic options are on the table. Who doesn’t love a little drama mixed in with their action?
Also worth mentioning is that Assassin’s Creed Shadows isn’t just about gameplay; it’s also getting a prequel manga, which sounds pretty cool! Plus, it boasts the largest file size ever seen in this franchise. What do you think about all these developments?
