The gaming community is abuzz with new details about the much-anticipated Assassin's Creed Shadows, following the leak of an artbook titled "The Art of Assassin's Creed Shadows." The leak, which surfaced on various online platforms, including a surprising source known for hosting hentai content, has sparked widespread interest and discussion. This artbook, containing hundreds of pages of concept art, quotations, and development insights, has quickly spread across the internet, appearing on file-sharing sites and galleries after being removed from its original posting site. IGN has reached out to Ubisoft for an official statement on the matter.
Among the intriguing elements revealed in the leaked artbook are concepts for historical figures, major cities, and a diverse array of weapons, offering fans a tantalizing glimpse into the game's setting and mechanics. While these images hint at potential plot spoilers, their authenticity remains unconfirmed until the game's official release. The leak comes just before the scheduled launch of Assassin's Creed Shadows on March 20, 2025, following a delay from its original 2024 release window to February, and subsequently to March.
At a recent preview event, IGN had the opportunity to speak with Assassin's Creed Shadows game director Charles Benoit. He shed light on the reasons behind the delay, emphasizing that it was primarily to polish the game rather than overhaul any major systems. Benoit noted that the team made adjustments to the progression system to enhance engagement and balance, but the primary focus was on refining the parkour system. "The Japanese architecture, the roofs [are] super complex," Benoit explained, highlighting the unique challenges presented by the game's Feudal Japan setting. "Probably the most complex thing that I ever worked with if we compared to Odyssey and Syndicate. We needed specific codes and specific animations to support something super fluid, changing the transition of the parkour to make it even more fluid. So that's one of the specific feedback that we heard that we wanted to address, and it really improved since the last few months."
