After first unveiling the title and announcing that a full reveal was impending, Ubisoft has finally lifted the lid Assassin’s Creed Shadows, dropping a debut trailer along with the first crucial bits of information like the game’s premise, characters, release date and various editions.
Assassin’s Creed Shadows is set to launch on November 15th for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Mac and PC (no last-gen release for this one), with a typical Ubisoft catalogue of different editions including some that grant three days earlier access to the game.
