Synopsis

A full-color over-sized hardcover volume chronicling the development of the newest game in the iconic Assassin’s Creed saga.

Two compelling new protagonists, Naoe—an adept shinobi assassin from Iga Province—and Yasuke—the powerful African samurai of historical renown—emerge from the shadows of 15th Century Japan to discover their common destiny. Along the way, they’re joined and confronted by charismatic characters, will master a variety of weapons and tools, and traverse across dynamic and dangerous Sengoku-era Japanese landscapes—all of which is explored in this comprehensive tome.

The Art of Assassin’s Creed Shadows celebrates and chronicles the venerable series’ first foray into the landscape of feudal Japan. Dark Horse Books and Ubisoft have combined their efforts to produce an art book in the tradition of the world-spanning Brotherhood, aiming to satisfy and inspire shinobi assassin and samurai of all generations.
