The setting is a vast open world that ranges from fortified cities to busy ports, through tranquil sanctuaries and war-torn landscapes. Naoe excels at stealth and agility, while Yasuke dominates with deadly precision and power. Ubisoft said that ‘exploring the world of Shadows allows players to create a network of spies to gather vital intelligence and recruit new allies with unique abilities. Players will be able to create and customize their hideout, train their team, craft new equipment and interact with key characters, choosing layouts, decorations and accessories for the base.
