Assassin’s Creed Shadows, the official enigma would reveal the exact map of the Ubisoft game

As everyone will know by now, at 6pm this evening – May 15th – Ubisoft will officially present the next chapter of its saga dedicated to assassins: Assassin’s Creed Shadows, official name of the previous game known as Codename Red. We know little about the official, but between rumors and leaks we have had the opportunity to slowly discover many details. One of the most recent is linked toexact part of Japan that will be the backdrop to this adventure.

Based on what has been indicated, Assassin’s Creed Shadows should allow you to explore a part of Japan, precisely its central area, the Kansai region in which there are – among many – two of the most important cities of the Rising Sun: Kyoto and Osaka.

The information comes from a cipher shared by Ubisoft from which it was possible to obtain a series of information, including a map created with a series of points in a Cartesian diagram. As you can see in the tweet above, the result seems to match this area perfectly.

Obviously this doesn’t tell us everything about game map, given that depending on the proportions defined by Ubisoft it could be really large or more modest in size, but in any case it allows us to have an idea of ​​what we can expect. It must also be said that the cities of Kyoto and Osaka were the most credible as the main areas, also because at the time in which Assassin’s Creed Shadows should be set Tokyo does not yet “exist” (initially known as Edo, the city saw urban development after 1603, when it became the capital of the Tokugawa shogunate).

The latest news on Assassin’s Creed Shadows

According to what has been discovered by fans, Assassin’s Creed Shadows should be set in 1579, the year during which it is believed that Yasuke – the first African samurai – arrived in Japan following the Jesuits (who had begun the conversion of Japanese nobles). Yasuke should be the historical figure who inspired the black samurai who apparently will be one of the two characters in the video game.

The second character in Assassin’s Creed Shadows should instead be a Japanese womanwho from the looks of it seems like a sort of ninja skilled at acting in the shadows.
