A Prequel Manga For The Upcoming Assassin’s Creed Shadows Officially Announced

by

Today, Ubisoft’s official social media accounts for their forthcoming Assassin’s Creed: Shadows have disclosed that the game will be accompanied by a Manga series, specifically designed as a companion to it.

The manga will not be a stylized retelling of Assassin’s Creed Shadows‘ story, however.

A New Assassin Will Be The Protagonist, Serving As A Prequel Story To Set Up The Game

As I, a seasoned gamer, delve into this upcoming game, the identity and backstory of the new playable character are yet to unfold. All that’s been revealed is the tantalizing hint dropped in the announcement.

Uncover the authentic prequel of the game. Journey through the tale of a budding Assassin disciple, battling the escalating influence of the Templar Order in feudal Japan.

The main cover of this manga features a brilliantly red backdrop, upon which an artistic rendition of the iconic Assassin’s Creed logo is prominently displayed, adding to the dramatic flair. A captivating character, holding both the signature hidden blade and a katana sword, assumes a dynamic posture that reflects her enigmatic persona.

Previews for Assassin’s Creed: Shadows have given us a glimpse of how Naoe, one of the two main characters, acquires her hidden blade, fueling curiosity about the protagonist of the manga and their narrative, as well as how it will tie in with the story unfolding in Shadows this Spring.

Absolutely, since the story is structured around memories and the Animus, it’s possible that science fiction elements could come into play throughout this narrative.

Let’s just be patient as we find out more about Assassin’s Creed Shadows in the time before it launches, and afterwards too.

The First Issue Of The Manga Will Launch Alongside The Game In Japan Only

The rest of the world will be able to check out the manga at an unspecified later date.

As of now, with multiple controversies and setbacks, it appears that Assassin’s Creed Shadows is expected to be released for players on March 20, 2025. However, the exact date is still uncertain.

Take a look at the official announcement below.

Assassin’s Creed Shadow is the initial installment within the series designed specifically for the ninth-generation gaming platforms. It will debut on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series consoles, as well as personal computers.
