A release eagerly awaited by fans
Ubisoft strikes hard with Assassin’s Creed Shadows, the new opus in the famous franchise. The game promises total immersion in a feudal Japan full of mystery and intense combat.
A record-breaking game
Assassin’s Creed Shadows got off to a dazzling start, with the second-best launch of the entire saga, just behind Valhalla. On release, it surpassed Origins and Odyssey in the number of players. And on Steam, Shadows set an absolute record for the franchise with an impressive peak of 64,000 simultaneous players, far eclipsing the figures for Odyssey (62k), Origins (41.5k), Valhalla (15.6k) and Mirage (7.8k). In just one week, over 40 million hours of gameplay were logged. The game also achieved Ubisoft’s best-ever launch on PlayStation Store. A remarkable performance on every level.
Revamped gameplay and an original atmosphere
Assassin’s Creed Shadows boasts a number of innovations that have won over players.
Firstly, the game offers an immersive, visually spectacular open world, where every nook and cranny invites exploration. Secondly, the overhaul of the infiltration system, based on stealth and camouflage, and the combat system add strategic depth. In addition, for the first time, the narrative experience features two heroes with complementary styles, offering varied perspectives depending on the player’s choices. Last but not least, exploration is more advanced than ever, with greater freedom of action to shape your adventure as you see fit. This combination of innovations makes Shadows livelier, freer and more engaging than its predecessors.
The Assassin’s Creed Shadows Lantern: an ambiant light to set the mood
To mark the launch of the game, Neamedia Icons has released a unique product: the Assassin’s Creed Shadows Lantern. A replica taken from the game, this official lantern adopts the design of traditional Japanese lanterns. It also features portraits of the game’s protagonists, stylized with a calligraphic brush. The subdued light emanating from this designer ambiance lamp recreates the mystical atmosphere of feudal Japan.
In short, the perfect gaming decor to plunge you into the heart of Ubisoft’s feudal Japan!
A must-have for Assassin’s Creed Shadows fans
Whether you prefer the power of Yasuke the samurai or the discretion of Naoe the shinobi, the lantern will bathe your home in an authentic traditional Japanese atmosphere (or hide the traces of your passage through enemy territory once switched off). That’s why the Assassin’s Creed Shadows lantern is both a gaming accessory for your gaming set-up (Xbox, PS, PC …), and a designer mood lamp, bringing a touch of authentic Japanese aesthetics to your home.
Lower the blinds and enjoy the subdued atmosphere.
Already out of stock, but pre-orders are already open
Eventually, the Assasin’s Creed Shadows lantern fell victim to its own success, and ran out of stock.
But all is not lost. A new wave of pre-orders is open on neamedia-icons.com here, with delivery scheduled for July. So fans can get their lantern, and decorate their homes with an authentic Japanese lantern.
