Assassin's Creed Shadows utilizes the franchise's classic stealth mechanics, but players are still learning how to utilize them fully.

With the best armor in Assassin’s Creed Shadows, Yasuke and Naoe become nearly invincible. As you explore feudal Japan, you’ll find many fabulous body armors, helmets, robes, and headbands, but some are worth wearing more than others — and we’re not just talking about looks.

Thanks to Assassin's Creed Shadows' AI overhaul, players are strongly encouraged to approach gameplay more cautiously than ever before in the series.
