Assassin\u2019s Creed Shadows fans think they\u2019ve uncovered the game\u2019s map UbisoftThe Assassin\u2019s Creed Shadows community believes they have found the real-world location of the game\u2019s map using a combination of official art and hints dropped by the game\u2019s official X account. This entry in the popular franchise is finally taking players to Japan, and fans were quick to begin deducing just where on the island the game will take place. Thanks to an image on a special edition of the game, as well as some puzzles released on X, the Assassin\u2019s Creed fanbase believes they have figured it out. Here is a look at the World Map of #AssassinsCreed Shadows, as portrayed in the Collector’s Edition of the game! \u2014 Access The Animus (@AccessTheAnimus) May 15, 2024 The game’s map will feature “”9 distinct regions””! pic.twitter.com\/dEaHu3H6k7 As mentioned, the first clue came from a map included as part of the Collector\u2019s Edition. Fans were able to match its shape to a section of the island roughly around the Osaka area. This was further corroborated when some eagle-eyed fans spotted a series of numbers in the bio for the official Assassin\u2019s Creed X account. The community decoded these numbers to reveal X and Y coordinates of a graph that was shared in the account\u2019s header. When dots were placed at each coordinate on the graph, they formed a shape that looks identical to the map shown on the Collector\u2019s Edition. Comparing the shape of the graph to various areas of Japan, it does look that it is representing the Kansai region of Japan, that comprises Kyoto and Osaka! \u2014 Access The Animus (@AccessTheAnimus) May 14, 2024 Is this going to be the map of the game? What is your opinion about this? pic.twitter.com\/gEgMlte4z2 So, Assassin\u2019s Creed Shadows fans superimposed this shape over a map of Japan to show that it does, in fact, cover that section near Osaka, near the middle of the island. This area is known as the Konsai region and also encompasses Kyoto. Of course, this could be only a section of the map. Creative director Jonathan Dumont has compared the map\u2019s size to that of Origins, the first of the massive RPG entries in the series. This title\u2019s map was open-world but noticeably smaller than those of Odyssey and Valhalla, the next two games. This seems to indicate the devs are looking for a smaller map than those two. This follows suits with last year\u2019s entry, Mirage, that saw a smaller map being used after criticism from fans about the size of Odyssey and Valhalla. It looks like Ubisoft is going to continue this focus on a smaller playground. Assassin\u2019s Creed Shadows is set for release on November 15, so there are sure to be more details offered as its launch gets closer and hype continues to build.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
