Assassin’s Creed Shadows for the Switch 2 is almost half price today, in a time limited deal
This critically acclaimed Assassin’s Creed Shadows on Switch 2 drops from £49.99 to £25.99, a 48% saving on one of this year’s best games.
Playing as Naoe puts the focus on stealth, using noise, light and shadow to slip past enemy patrols, while a new grappling hook opens up parkour routes across castle rooftops that were not available in earlier games in the series.
Naoe’s kit also includes a hidden blade for instant assassinations along with shuriken and smoke bombs to create useful distractions, giving stealth focused players several ways to clear a room without ever triggering an alarm.
Switching over to Yasuke flips that approach entirely, trading stealth for silent bow takedowns and heavy melee combos with a katana or naginata, so a single stronghold can be cleared through patience or brute force depending on your mood.
Switching between the two protagonists mid mission is encouraged rather than locked to separate story chapters, letting you scout a stronghold as Naoe before switching to Yasuke for a more direct assault once guards are alerted.
Both characters explore the same dynamic version of feudal Japan, where castle towns, ports and shrines shift with the weather and the seasons, giving the world a sense of change that keeps returning to the same location interesting.
And now with a glowing discount, you have the chance to explore feudal Japan in all its glory.
