First posted by IGN China, a new dev diary has surfaced online and showcases some of the gameplay in the upcoming game Assassin’s Creed Shadows. The footage is just under five minutes long and shows off the dynamic world that players can expect to dive into when the game releases. Considering the popularity of the site that posted the footage, it’s likely that the dev diary will very quickly be taken down. More and more leaks about the upcoming Assassin’s Creed game continue to surface, including ones recently speaking about some of the features that will be included in the game. The features include a dynamic weather system, which will affect the gameplay.
For example, when it is raining in-game, it means that enemies won’t be able to hear your movements, as they will be muffled by the rainfall. Alternatively, if you have to cross a large body of water, you may have to find that you wait until winter, when the water will be frozen over, and you can traverse the ice.
The footage shown showcases the new animation style that is being tested out in Assassin’s Creed Shadows, hoping to make a more immersive world for those who plan on playing the game. Additionally, players are introduced to their ‘Hideout.’ It’s been described as having one acre of land, where the player will be able to build their base of operations and build something similar to an armory, as well as a dojo and an altar. The buildings will be fully customizable, allowing players to make the buildings look however they want them to, as well as being able to change aspects such as the design of the roof or the color of the walls.
In exclusive footage shown to Insider Gaming, they got to get a sneak peek further into the Hideout and what it will entail. It was said to be similar to that of the building in Valhalla, but heavily improved on.
Assassin’s Creed Shadows seems to be shaping up as their most ambitious game yet, despite it being smaller than Valhalla and bigger than Mirage. Assassin’s Creed Shadows releases on November 12, 2024. The game will be available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and PC.
