Ubisoft has obviously improved the infiltration stages a lot Assassin’s Creed Shadows. Logical, since we will have the opportunity to play as Shinobi.
Assassin’s Creed Shadows he articulates his story around two characters: samurai and shinobi. Each will have its own specifics, the armored warrior more skilled in close combat and the mistress in the art of hiding. IN press release published on November 21, 2024Ubisoft has also updated the improvements made to the infiltration stages, which were delayed a bit in the latest episodes.
Judging by the details provided by the multinational company, Assassin’s Creed Shadows it aspires to “revolutionize” infiltration by giving it a much more relevant place. This way, players may be a little more inclined to take a discreet approach like a real-life shinobi would. The developers are therefore integrating several new elements to move towards a more realistic gameplay, and not just for the sake of it the cycle of the seasons. Knowing this will of course need to be confirmed with the controller in handUbisoft has no room for error.
Assassin’s Creed Shadows multiplies new features in infiltration
First changeAssassin’s Creed Shadows will consist in the absence of a companion capable of observing the surroundings and indicating danger. ” In Shadows, players must rely on their character’s senses and engage enemies with a more instinctive tactical approach. ยป, shows Simon, Deputy Game Director. To compensate for this download, Yasuke and Naoe will be able to count on observation, which will allow you to identify and tag enemies you see, among other useful information. Naoe will still have Eagle Vision to detect threats more easily.
As the name suggests, shadows can – finally – be used wisely Assassin’s Creed Shadows. ” During the night, each shaded area becomes a dynamic place to hide, allowing you to move without being seen “, explains Ubisoft. You can even destroy light points and create your own safety zones. We can see there legacy of the Splinter Cell gameswhich remain references to the infiltration genre (at least the first episodes).
Another new feature not to be missed: Yasuke and Naoe will be able to crawl, which is a godsend for shelter. As a bonus, note that Naoe is officially the smallest assassin, size-wise, in the history of the saga. A physical trait that allows him to squeeze into increasingly tight spaces.
The success of the infiltration phases will also depend on the behavior of the enemies. at this point Assassin’s Creed Shadows it will first of all have to demonstrate that there will be advanced artificial intelligence. In the meantime, Ubisoft is content to specify that there will be harmless characters who can alert the guards (example: servants, symbolized in orange with Eagle Vision), guards who will go around in pairs if they are suspicious.
