On The Radar: Assassin's Creed Shadows coverage hub

Yasuke and Naoe ready to fight on the Assassin's Creed Shadows On The Radar thumbnail.

Assassin's Creed Shadows finally delivers on a fan request to have the historically-set series tackle feudal Japan. And it does so with plenty of ambition, evolving the open world RPG format that's developed since 2017's Assassin's Creed Origins further to create a gorgeous and immersive world that's home to tactile and violent combat as much as it is slick stealth.

After many hours talking with developers Ubisoft Quebec pre-release in our Assassin's Creed Shadow Big Preview, our final verdict is finally out now too (as you can see below). Yet, for a game with as much impact as Assassin's Creed Shadows, the release is just the beginning of the story. This is a landmark release for the industry as much as it for publisher Ubisoft and lead development studio Ubisoft Quebec. We talk with the studio about how it came together, pull apart everything we found interesting, and ponder what comes next below. Stick around as we update this hub with more exclusive access!
