After its presentation yesterday at Geoff Keighley’s Summer Games Fest, Assassin’s Creed: Mirage did not miss its opportunity to feature prominently at Ubisoft’s private event, also held in Los Angeles. During the event, 13 minutes of gameplay were revealed, offering a glimpse into what the Ubisoft Quebec developers have accomplished over the past few years for this highly anticipated episode of the series. It is noteworthy that the game captivates through rich, detailed, and vibrant environments. The city of Fukuchiyama teems with people, and even non-player characters react to Yasuke’s arrival when frozen in time. Yasuke will soon find himself compelled to take up arms as unscrupulous samurai terrorize the inhabitants, demanding money under threat of execution. However, our black samurai will make it clear that due to his size, his ultra-solid armor, and his weapon skills, he dominates anyone who dares oppose him.
The opportunity to observe the formidable strength of Nobunaga’s bodyguard, capable of delivering powerful kanabô strikes with their spiked weapon, causing significant damage to opponents. Although the combat sequences lack fluidity and impact, it is undeniable that the head-removal finishing move, depicted in black and white except for the visible blood, makes this moment particularly striking. However, it is evident that Assassin’s Creed Shadows has drawn considerable inspiration from Ghost of Tsushima in terms of stance setups. This video also provides a glimpse of Naoe in action, who excels in stealth and infiltration. Her agility allows her to move undetected, knowing she can engage enemies directly if discovered. They possess grapple hooks and projectiles for both defensive and offensive purposes. Ubisoft has announced that Assassin’s Creed Shadows is set for release on November 15th.
