Publisher's summary[edit | edit source]
Two compelling new protagonists, Naoe—an adept shinobi assassin from Iga Province—and Yasuke—the powerful African samurai of historical renown—emerge from the shadows of 15th Century Japan to discover their common destiny. Along the way, they’re joined and confronted by charismatic characters, will master a variety of weapons and tools, and traverse across dynamic and dangerous Sengoku-era Japanese landscapes—all of which is explored in this comprehensive tome.
The Art of Assassin’s Creed Shadows celebrates and chronicles the venerable series’ first foray into the landscape of feudal Japan. Dark Horse Books and Ubisoft have combined their efforts to produce an art book in the tradition of the world-spanning Brotherhood, aiming to satisfy and inspire shinobi assassin and samurai of all generations.[2]

The publisher summary and foreword claim Assassin's Creed: Shadows is the franchise's first exploration of Feudal Japan as a setting. This is false as the 2014 mobile game Assassin's Creed: Memories used Sengoku era Japan as one of its settings, introducing now shared characters like Oda Nobunaga, Hattori Hanzō, and Alessandro Valignano into the lore.
