Assassin's Creed Shadows is coming November 15 with two playable characters, a shinobi and a real-life samurai

Assassin's Creed Shadows, the long-awaited murder-trip to feudal Japan, has finally been revealed in both a cinematic trailer and a breakdown of the new characters coming to the series: The shinobi Naoe and the samurai Yasuke, the first playable character in the long-running series to be based on a real-life historical figure.

"With our dual protagonists, we have two fantasies, the samurai and the shinobi," game director Charles Benoit explained."We want the player to experience both, and we cannot squeeze both fantasies into one character because the samurai and shinobi came from different social classes. They have different lives. So we cannot really mix them together."

That definitely sounds more Assassin-like to me, but fair enough: Sometimes all you really want to do is whomp some dudes with a giant spiked club.
