Assassin’s Creed Shadows marks a series milestone as the first entry developed with a total focus on PS5, Xbox Series X/S and PC. It’s a bold transition with a clear pay-off in its technology, as last-gen PS4 and Xbox One machines are left behind to ensure the core gameplay incorporates the latest features of Ubisoft’s Anvil engine. That includes ray-traced global illumination, procedural weather simulation and world destruction physics – all exciting additions that help elevate its feudal era Japan setting, in ways not possible in 2023’s Assassin’s Creed Mirage.
