The anticipation is over. With the release of the Assassin’s Creed Shadows trailer, gamers worldwide are eagerly awaiting its arrival. Amid the excitement, questions about the need for an internet connection to play the game and curiosity about the story’s protagonists are rampant. Many are especially keen to know if they can switch between playing as Yasuke and Naoe. If you’re wondering the same, read on for the answer.
Contrary to what some might expect, you won’t have to choose just one protagonist in Assassin’s Creed Shadows. Players can seamlessly switch between Yasuke and Naoe. According to the game’s official website, Ubisoft has designed the game so that players can “approach quests with whichever character you prefer.”
This system is similar to the one in Assassin’s Creed Syndicate, where each character has a distinct play style. An exclusive feature on IGN confirms that the protagonists are interchangeable. Each character comes with their own unique skills and playstyles, adding depth to their personalities.
Naoe, one of the protagonists, focuses on her Shinobi heritage. Players can expect classic Assassin gameplay with her, utilizing the hidden blade, kunai, and other stealthy tools. Her gameplay emphasizes the traditional stealth elements of the series, complete with parkour and a grappling hook for traversals.
In contrast, Yasuke embodies his role as a retainer of Oda Nobunaga, donning Samurai armor and wielding a Katana. His playstyle is more aggressive and direct. The trailer, which shows two guards being thrown across a room, highlights his loud and forceful approach. Yasuke will have access to various weapons and rely on frontal attacks.
Now that you know you can play as both Yasuke and Naoe in Assassin’s Creed Shadows, are you excited enough to pre-order the game? Let us know in the comments below!
