Assassin ’s Creed Shadowswill arrive next calendar month , finally taking players to the Japanese setting they ’ve long asked for . While manyaspects ofShadow ’s heart-to-heart world , like dynamic weather condition and detailed interactive environments , are exciting in their own rightfulness , perhaps the liberal draw of the title is its dual protagonists , Naoe and Yasuke . One a light - footed , stealthy ninja , and the other a strong samurai who dive into struggle head teacher - first , the pair are perfect foils to one another when it comes to both gameplay and narrative .

Yasuke is based on a veridical individual who served as a warrior under daimyo Oda Nobunaga during the Sengoku period , while Naoe is an original world who is in fierce opposition to the said daimyo . The plot ’s cast features many talented voice actors , with the Nipponese dub including thespian like Miyuri Shimabukuro as Naoe and Mutsuki Iwanaka as Kumabe Ujiie . Shimabukuro is known for roles in anime likeHanebado!and games likeAtelier Lulua : The Scion of Arland , while Iwanaka has played characters in gum anime likeNegative Positive Angler , andhas also earned every trophy in everyAssassin ’s Creedgame .

While Assassin ’s Creed Shadows was in blood with some of my expectations , a number of thing managed to surprise me at the preview event .

ScreenRant : What draw you to the role of Naoe ?

Miyuri Shimabukuro : Naoe is concentrate on retaliation , and is quite closed off . But with her Friend , there are some scenes where you may see a glimpse of her pure personality . The way in which she contains mass is quite appealing to me .

ScreenRant : Mutsuki , did you go intoAssassin ’s Creedplanning to get every trophy , or was it an theme that total to you as you were trifle through ?

Mutsuki Iwanaka : Since it ’s a merriment game , I want to keep playing and get prize I did n’t get just during my normal playthrough . Those prize are thing like “ cast off Amandine Aurore Lucie Dupin at enemies and toss off five of them , ” or something similar . Those achievement trophy I go back and examine to get . So basically it ’s a mix – I get a cluster during my playthrough , and go back and get the residuum . Since it ’s a fun game , I desire to go that far and get all the trophy .

ScreenRant : Are there any trophies you had difficulty with ?

Yes , of row . In Assassin ’s Creed Brotherhood , there was a multiplayer mode . Assassin ’s Creed is typically only exclusive participant , soI had fuss getting prize that involved fiddle multiplayer . And the trophies in the Valhalla DLC were also quite difficult to get . There was one that demanded you get gold palm in all missions , and that was elusive .

ScreenRant : What time period / location would you care to chaffer next in anACgame ?

Mustuki Iwanaka : To be honest , I am not a huge history buff . I actually get interested in history thanks to Assassin ’s Creed . The serial publication has covered the French Revolution , the English Industrial Revolution , and the American War for Independence — so it would be cool to enshroud a similar boastful event . But since there are so many instances like that throughout history , I can not pin - point a specific one .
