Assassin's Creed Shadows official art has leaked online

It seems that Ubisoft doesn't have time to prevent leaks about Assassin's Creed Shadows, but considering that the announcement will take place very soon, it's not surprising.

Earlier it became known that the official description to the Assassin's Creed Shadows teaser lists the game's release date as November 15. It sounds quite realistic, considering that the main parts of the series are traditionally released in the fall.

Now the official Assassin's Creed Shadows art has leaked into the net. It confirms rumors that players will be able to choose between a ninja and a samurai. The art also reveals that the ninja is a girl and the samurai is a dark-skinned warrior. An unusual combination that is sure to spark discussions about inclusivity. However, Afro-samurai did exist in history, and while female ninjas were rare, they existed too.

Since Assassin's Creed focuses on extraordinary people, this choice of characters seems logical and even interesting.

Ultimately, gameplay and story will decide everything. All that remains is to wait for the official release and evaluate the game.
