Ubisoft changed everything in Assassin’s Creed Shadows, according to a former employee

A former Ubisoft employee talks about Ubisoft’s original approach to Assassin’s Creed Shadows, which has nothing to do with the final product they recently revealed.

Ubisoft preparing Assassin’s Creed Shadows for PCSteam Deck, PS5 and Xbox Series X|S with their duet main character from Yasuke And NaoeBut overworkedr states that project Initially everything was completely different.

It all comes from Twitter from InfinitaleComic, who claims to have worked on the developer’s first game and that it was originally a young monk named Yamauchi Taka.

According to him, the game’s story initially revolved around “Sword of Eden(also known as “Excalibur”, “Honjo Masamune”, “Sword of Genghis Khan”) and other names.

Apparently, this sword gave its last owner – Oda Nobunaga – an unfair advantage in his mission to conquer Japan. In the game, players will play the lead role in the adventure as Monk Tuck.

“The story focuses (…) on the game’s ancestor. “Taka” means “falcon”, which follows the naming convention of the time where all characters were named after the bird of prey.

After the murder of Nobunaga by Hattori Hanzō, Taka becomes part of the Brotherhood and is trained as an Assassin (shinobi) under Hanzō’s guidance.“.

He comments that said brotherhood is trying to take the found sword out of Japan, but “persecuted by Jesuit (Templar) ships and lost“; presumably at sea.

According to the InfinitaleComic Twitter account, Ubisoft has been working on an Assassin’s Creed game set in feudal Japan since 2013..

Or, what is the same thing, the company knew full well that the demand for this installation had existed for more than ten years, and this should not surprise anyone.

“Hanzo is killed when he is considering retiring as a monk. His master Tokugawa Ieyasu tasked Taka with finding the killer (and returning the sword).“He keeps saying on Twitter.

But The final story of Assassin’s Creed Shadows has nothing to do with what is described here, so it is easy to assume that They completely abandoned and replaced Yasuke and Naoe..

In another tweet, he leaves some clarifications, such as that he never claimed to have written the script for the game, but only mentioned that he worked for the company.

It’s impressive that another user emphasizes that all this “the concept seems to be related to a mobile game that no one remembers” and left a link to the wiki.

It talks about Assassin’s Creed: Memories, a game announced in 2014 as a card game and available only on iOS. It did not last long, as its servers were closed on March 13, 2015.

“Yes, this mobile game lasted less than a year before it was removed from smartphone stores. What a waste“, comments a former employee.

Assassin’s Creed Shadows at Ubisoft should have been different

Despite this, this is all we know about Assassin’s Creed Shadows: characters, era, editions, gameplay news, seasons and many other details.

And remember that a doctor and expert on Japanese history clarified the contradiction of Yasuke, one of main characters of Assassin’s Creed Shadows.

Who thinks it’s possible that Ubisoft had an original approach to the recent Assassin’s Creed Shadows.? Maybe Yamauchi Taka, original monk protagonist this adventure?
