Assassin’s Creed Shadows takes players all the way to Japan during the Sengoku Jidai, the warring states period. As warlords vie for control, it’s up to you to aid Yasuke and Naoe, to see how their destinies are intertwined. One is a samurai, a peerless warrior who can go toe to toe against multiple foes. The other, meanwhile, is a shinobi, striking from the darkness to silently eliminate her targets. Our Assassin’s Creed Shadows guides hub has everything you need to help you tackle missions and learn about new intricacies in the latest entry to Ubisoft’s open-world series.

Progression: Missions and objective locations
Progressing through a chunk of the campaign in Shadows is quite different compared to its predecessors. That’s because many quest objectives aren’t readily shown on the map. Instead, you’re given general directions and hints as to the whereabouts of your quarry. In the same vein, you’ll spend a lot of time hunting down your targets: the members of the Shinbakufu group.
