Ubisoft announced that pre-orders for Assassin’s Creed Shadows, the upcoming installment in the Assassin’s Creed franchise set in Feudal Japan, are now open. The game will be released worldwide on March 20 and will be accessible on Ubisoft+, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Amazon Luna, Macs with Apple silicon via the Mac App Store as well as Windows PC through the Ubisoft Store, Steam and the Epic Games Store.

Led by Ubisoft Québec, Assassin’s Creed Shadows will immerse players in 16th-century Japan. Players will experience the intertwined stories of Naoe, an adept shinobi Assassin from the Iga Province, and Yasuke, the powerful samurai of historical legend. Players will explore their personal journeys, encounter pivotal historical figures, and shape the duo’s shared destiny as Japan treads a brutal path toward unification. The newly revealed Story trailer offers a glimpse into this gripping narrative, showcasing a land in turmoil, fractured by war and threatened by foreign influences. Amid this chaos, Daimyo Oda Nobunaga’s relentless ambition will shape the fate of both heroes as they forge a path for a new Creed to emerge in Japan.

The Standard Edition of Assassin’s Creed Shadows is available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and PC and Macs via the Mac App Store. The Digital Deluxe Edition is available on PlayStation 5, Xbox, Series X|S, and on PC and Macs via the Mac App Store. The Collector’s Edition is available on PlayStation®5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC and Macs via the Mac App Store.

The Digital Deluxe and Collector’s Editions of the game, both offering exclusive content, are also available for pre-order:

• The Digital Deluxe Edition will include the base game, the “Sekiryu Dual Pack” which contains gear, and weapons for both Naoe and Yasuke, the “Sekiryu Hideout Pack” containing hideout cosmetics, and “Mastery Points”.
• The Collector’s Edition will include the base game, the “Sekiryu Dual Pack”, the “Sekiryu Hideout Pack”, “Mastery Points”, and physical content. The physical content will be a Steelbook, the World map, Naoe & Yasuke figurine, Naoe’s life-sized Katana Tsuba, a Wall Creed Scroll, a 76-paged collector’s artbook and 2 sumi-e lithographs.

Players pre-ordering any edition of Assassin’s Creed Shadows will gain free access to the ‘Claws of Awaji’ expansion, launching later in 2025. This expansion will introduce a brand-new open-world region with over 10 hours of additional content plus new skills, gear, abilities, and a new weapon for Naoe, the Bō. In this latest adventure, players will journey to the mysterious island of Awaji, where Naoe and Yasuke will be relentlessly chased by the Sanzoku Ippa, a dangerous new faction threatening the region. Avoiding the traps and ambushes set by these deadly new foes, players will feel the tension of being hunted.

Additionally, players who pre-order will gain access to the exclusive “Thrown to the Dogs” bonus quest, available at launch.
