Ubisoft’s beloved Assassin’s Creed franchise is venturing into uncharted territory with its latest release, Assassin’s Creed Shadows.


Ubisoft’s beloved Assassin’s Creed franchise is venturing into uncharted territory with its latest release, Assassin’s Creed Shadows. After exploring Egypt, Greece, and Europe, the game developer is taking players to the East, specifically to feudal Japan in the 16th century. Fans of the series have long requested this setting, and now their wish has been granted. With an intriguing historical backdrop, rich in the struggles between warlords like Oda Nobunaga, and infused with the iconic Assassin and Templar conflict, the game promises an unforgettable experience.

A New RPG Adventure in Feudal Japan

Assassin’s Creed Shadows follows the same RPG structure that has made the recent titles in the series so popular. This time, however, Ubisoft has chosen to set the game in the tumultuous period of feudal Japan. The story revolves around Oda Nobunaga’s attempts to unify Japan in the 16th century, all while dealing with political intrigue, betrayal, and the presence of Assassins and Templars. While the game is still rooted in the fictional world of Assassin’s Creed, it holds true to its historical authenticity with a setting that immerses players in Japan’s rich cultural and historical context.

Introducing Immersive Mode for a More Authentic Experience

One of the most exciting new features in Assassin’s Creed Shadows is the Immersive Mode, which takes the game’s attention to detail and realism to the next level. As in previous titles, players will have the option to choose from a variety of languages for dubbing, including Spanish, English, Japanese, and others. While this has been a standard feature in past Assassin’s Creed games, some fans have long complained about the inconsistencies that arise when characters speak in a language that doesn’t match their setting or background.

For example, in Assassin’s Creed Unity, if players chose French as the language, even characters who should have spoken English were dubbed in French. This can sometimes break the immersion, especially in historical games where language authenticity is important. The new Immersive Mode, however, aims to solve this issue by offering a more consistent and culturally appropriate experience.

How Does Assassin’s Creed Immersive Mode Work?

In Assassin’s Creed Shadows, the Immersive Mode ensures that characters speak the language that is most appropriate for their background and the setting. For instance, when players encounter Portuguese priests in the game, they will speak in Portuguese. Yasuke, the famous African samurai, will speak Portuguese with the priests but will switch to Japanese when interacting with Japanese characters. This attention to linguistic detail adds a layer of realism that enhances the immersive experience of the game. Players who prefer more historical authenticity will likely appreciate this feature.

The Immersive Mode helps bring the game’s setting to life in a more coherent and consistent way, creating a richer experience for players who care about the details. The language used by each character will now match the context, whether they are speaking to someone from the same cultural background or not.

A Highly Anticipated Release Of Assassin’s Creed

Assassin’s Creed Shadows is scheduled to be released on March 20th for PS5, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, and PC. Although the game has been delayed twice, the developers are fine-tuning the final aspects of the game to ensure it meets players’ high expectations. Fans of the series, especially those excited about exploring feudal Japan, are eagerly awaiting the launch.

With its captivating setting, immersive features, and a fresh approach to language authenticity, Assassin’s Creed Shadows promises to be an exciting addition to the franchise. Whether you’re a longtime fan of the series or a newcomer, this game is sure to offer a thrilling adventure through one of history’s most fascinating periods.
