Mackenyu, renowned for his role as Roronoa Zoro in the Netflix adaptation of the beloved anime "One Piece," is set to bring his talents to Ubisoft's latest installment in the Assassin's Creed series, Assassin’s Creed Shadows. Set in the rich backdrop of Feudal Japan, Mackenyu will voice the character Gennojo in both Japanese and English.
In Assassin’s Creed Shadows, Gennojo emerges as a crucial figure, assisting the protagonist in tracking and eliminating a vital target. Ubisoft describes Gennojo as "a charming, reckless, and deeply conflicted individual, driven by guilt to dismantle a corrupt system. He embodies the spirit of a flirtatious rogue and trickster, navigating life with wit, deceit, and swagger." Despite his rough exterior, Gennojo is motivated by a profound sense of justice, particularly in aiding the poor and elderly.
While the exact timing of Gennojo's introduction in the game remains undisclosed, it is clear that he will play a significant role in the game's missions. Mackenyu shared that Gennojo is part of the "Shinobi League" and can be recruited as a companion during the player's journey through the game.
For fans eagerly awaiting Assassin’s Creed Shadows, the addition of Mackenyu as Gennojo promises to enrich the narrative and gameplay experience in this highly anticipated title set in the fascinating world of Feudal Japan.
