Assassin's Creed Shadows is officially launching on November 15. You'll get to take control of two different characters (Yasuke and Naoe) throughout the adventure in feudal Japan, with each character offering a unique playstyle. Yasuke is adept at visceral melee combat, while Naoe is better suited for slipping through a crowd undetected. Together, they should make for a unique Assassin's Creed gameplay experience.
While Shadows won't arrive until this holiday season, preorders are now available. You'll even find a small preorder bonus, along with several versions of the game up for grabs, including a GameStop-exclusive collector's edition that looks pretty awesome. Here's a look at all four to help you decide if it's worth picking up. If you happen to be a Ubisoft+ Premium member ($18/month), you'll also have full access to the Ultimate Edition of the game starting November 12, three days ahead of AC Shadows' official launch.
Reserve a copy of Assassin's Creed Shadows ahead of its November 15 release to get the Thrown to the Dogs quest. We don't see any retailer-exclusive bonuses yet, but that could change as we inch closer to launch. We'll update this article if anything new is announced.
