First look at Assassin's Creed Shadows dual protagonists

Assassin's Creed Shadows will feature dual protagonists - a Samurai and a Ninja, according to leaks on social media platform X. Ubisoft is supposed to reveal the cinematic trailer for Shadows on May 15, 2024, and countless leaks about the anticipated title have already appeared on the internet.

The new leaks suggest an African-origin Samurai, Yasuke, as one of the two main characters. In the leaked artwork, Yasuke is shown wielding a Katana while donning a Samurai armor. Historically speaking, Yasuke was a retainer for a Japanese Daimyo during the Sengoku period. This coincides with the game's timeline of feudal Japan, leveraging some backing up to these leaks.

The other protagonist is the female lead Naoe, a Ninja who is seen with a Kusarigama in the leaked posters. Naoe seems to be of Japanese descent and was accidentally leaked by Ubisoft Montreal author Pierre Boudreau, who updated a photo of the same on his LinkedIn profile.
