Will it be possible to play with just one character in Assassin’s Creed Shadows? Here is Ubisoft’s response

One of the most interesting features of Assassin’s Creed Shadows it is undoubtedly the presentation of two protagonists, each characterized by a very different approach. The samurai Yasuke specializes in direct confrontations, while the ninja Naoe prefers to exploit the shadows to silently eliminate her targets. Clearly there are players who prefer one style over the other and Ubisoft knows this well and in fact in most cases the game it will not force users to take on the role of one character or another.

The confirmation came from associate game director Simon Lemay-Comtois in an interview with VG247, in which he explains that if desired, players will be able to face most of the game with only one of the two characters, while encouraging you to play as both. “It’s a balanced approach. Most of the content can be played by both, and there is no hard limit that dictates that an activity is only for one character,” said Lemay-Comtois. “The story moments are character-focused, but the rest of the game is open-ended and the progression incentivizes change, because when you play with only one character for a while, this one will collect items to use with the other. So both characters progress together.”

You cannot change protagonist at any time

Another detail that emerged from the same interview is that it will not be possible to switch from controlling Yasuke to Naoe and vice versa at any time.

“We were really interested in this idea of ​​committing to the build you have at the time. Early on we tried to say, ‘We know we want stealth, we know we want combat, but we don’t want players to be able to switch between characters. ‘more during these phases,'” Lemay-Comtois reported. “The weapon you have, the armor you have, is what you have to deal with the situation at that given moment. Before you can change, you have to remove yourself from that situation.”

We remind you that Assassin’s Creed Shadows will be available on PS5 and Xbox Series November 15th. From the latest details arrived from Ubisoft we have discovered an interesting news related to the use of the Hidden Blade.
