Yes, Assassin’s Creed Shadows lets you focus on one protagonist, without missing content!
Ubisoft has confirmed that Assassin’s Creed Shadows will not punish players for favoring one of its two main protagonists. It does not matter if you prefer Naoe’s stealth-focused gameplay or Yasuke’s brute strength, you will not be missing out on any big content if you mostly stick to one character.
This was recently clarified in an interview reported by IGN, and it is definitely great news for fans who want to shape their experience based on playstyle preference!
You Can Choose Your Path: Stealth or Strength
The two protagonists offer different gameplay approaches:
- Naoe brings back classic stealth mechanics, echoing older Assassin’s Creed games.
- Yasuke is all about direct combat, leaning into the power fantasy we have seen in recent RPG entries.
Each character also comes with their own exclusive questlines specifically created to fit their personality and role in the story. But most importantly, you will not be locked out of core content no matter who you focus on.
Focus on Flexibility
Ubisoft says that players are free to switch between characters when they feel like it, or just stick mostly to one if they prefer. You will still experience the full story and progression either way.
This approach gives us more freedom than ever before, while avoiding the feeling of “missing out” just because you prefer one playstyle over the other.
In any case, stay tuned for more updates as we will keep you informed on all the latest AC developments and other game news as the launch approaches.
