Assassin's Creed Shadows: A Shinobi's Journey in Feudal Japan

Ubisoft has just unveiled an exciting story trailer for its upcoming game, Assassin's Creed Shadows, for the PS5. The trailer has reignited the buzz around the game. Set in Japan's Iga province in 1579, the game focuses on the unification wars led by the daimyo Oda Nobunaga. A young shinobi, or ninja, embarks on a challenging mission that leads her to clash with a legendary samurai serving the so-called "Demon King of Owari. "

The story also highlights Yasuke, a slave of African descent who became a samurai retainer under Nobunaga. Yasuke's journey is significant, especially in the historical context of feudal Japan, which was quite isolated. It's important to note that the terms "samurai" and "retainer" were often used interchangeably in feudal texts. For instance, European knights, who were lords in their own right, were also considered retainers.
