Alongside the release of Assassin’s Creed Shadows, Ubisoft released a prequel manga for Assassin’s Creed Shadows in Japan. The manga, titled Assassin’s Creed Shadows: Iga no Monogatari (Tale of Iga), will release worldwide at a later date. Reguje will illustrate it.
Ubisoft describes the manga as follows: “Discover the official prequel of the game. Follow the story a young Assassin apprentice, as she fights against the growing presence of the Templars order in Japan.”
It also confirmed that Shadows will depart from the traditional season pass model. There will be no early launch for players who purchase a specific edition of the game. Additionally, the “Claws of Awaji” expansion will be available for free to those who pre-order Shadows.
Lastly, Assassin’s Creed Shadows is available now on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam, Epic Games Store, and Ubisoft Store. Initially, it would’ve released on November 15, but it was then delayed to February 14. Now it has finally released, one month later, on March 20. The game also features support for the Steam Deck.
