While you would think you’ll be forced to choose between one protagonist in the game, that’s not the case. Players caneasily switch between Yasuke and Naoein Assassin’s Creed Shadows. This has already been on thegame’s official website. Ubisoft players can “approach quests with whichever character you prefer.“

The system will work like Assassin’s Creed Syndicate, where both characters have different play styles.

One of the protagonists in Assassin’s Creed Shadows,Naoe, will focus on herShinobi roots. As such, players can experience the classic Assassin gameplay from her. This means the usage of the assassin’s hidden blade, kunai, etc. You can enjoy parkour and even use a helpful grappling hook for traversals. Naoe’s gameplay is focused more on the series’ legacy, embracing the stealth gameplay.

Similarly,Yasukewill embrace his retainer status of Oda Nobunaga and donSamuraiarmor and a Katana. Hence, his playstyle will pivot towards being loud. I think seeing two guards fling across a room through a door in the trailer made that clear. Yasuke will also get to wield various weapons and rely on frontal attacks.
