Assassin\u2019s Creed Shadows is the perfect game to play while we wait for Ghost of Tsushima 2 DexertoGhost of Tsushima 2 might not be confirmed, but that doesn\u2019t have to be a bad thing, as one title will tide us over until its eventual release: Assassin\u2019s Creed Shadows. If the likes of Odyssey and Mirage have taught me one thing, it\u2019s that Assassin\u2019s Creed is well and truly back in its prime. Mirage perfected its return back to the older style of Assassin\u2019s Creed games, with a more detailed story, heartbreaking twists, and epic stealth gameplay. Meanwhile, Odyssey showed what it really means to dedicate an immense open-world adventure in the heart of an expansive yet complex historical period. Take both of those, combine them, and then add in a sprinkling of the gameplay and teasers we\u2019ve seen from Assassin\u2019s Creed Shadows, and you\u2019ve got a recipe for what looks to be one of the best modern Assassin\u2019s Creed games out there (nothing will beat Brotherhood though, sorry). So, with Shadows coming soon, now couldn\u2019t be a better time to get a small taster before Ghost of Tsushima 2 is eventually served up. Ghost of Tsushima 1.5 Now, while it\u2019s all well and good saying you should try Shadows while waiting for Ghost of Tsushima 2, why bother? If you\u2019ve not been interested in Assassin\u2019s Creed in the past, why start now, and why even compare it to Ghost of Tsushima? It certainly feels a world away from the West Indies or Viking England we\u2019ve previously seen. The answer\u2019s simple: These two games feel more like siblings than separate titles. Both are set in the same landscape, both allow you to focus on stealth or honorable combat whenever you choose, and both feature stunning, large, open-world exploration throughout their overarching main stories. As such, it\u2019ll be easy to dive into Shadows without it feeling a world away from the experience you\u2019re expecting. Sure, you won\u2019t be able to run around as Jin, but you\u2019ll still be able to explore the same region but at a different time period. Ghost of Tsushima is set in 1274, while Assassin\u2019s Creed Shadows takes place in 1579, some 300 years after Jin\u2019s eventful life. As such, this will be the perfect opportunity to revisit familiar visuals and action styles but with a different historical period, almost acting as a 1.5 version of Ghost of Tsushima. Of course, we haven\u2019t seen the entire game yet, but if the gameplay is anything to go off of, Shadows certainly pays homage to the traditional style of Japanese fighting in the same way as Ghost of Tsushima and will certainly act as a perfect transition between the first iteration, Shadows, and Sucker Punch\u2019s eventual sequel. The starter before the main course When looking into their similarities and their inherent designs, it\u2019s easy to conclude that Assassin\u2019s Creed Shadows is the perfect starter to satiate your hunger while you wait for Ghost of Tsushima 2. Shadows will be releasing in November, and if Ghost 2 does ever get announced, it\u2019s likely we won\u2019t see it until late 2025 or 2026 at the earliest, giving you plenty of time to delve into feudal Japan once again, but through two different pairs of eyes. Sure, you\u2019ll have to deal with the Assassin\u2019s Creed lore, but if you can look past the Isu and its creations, then you\u2019ll definitely be treated to the perfect waiting game before you can dive right back into Ghost of Tsushima 2. Or just replay the first one; we can\u2019t tell you what to do.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
