Yes, apparently Naoe can do the Naruto filming. Shadows of Assassin’s Creed, as the game’s creative director describes her as the fastest playable character the series has seen so far.
That’s according to an Entertainment Weekly interview with Darkness creative director Jonathan Dumont (via PC Gamer). Dumont describes the shinobi as “the fastest Assassin we have ever created.” And he adds: “He runs super fast, he has many devices to maintain his stealth and not have to fight frequently. “We wanted to satisfy that for players who come to that ninja-Assassin game.”
Dumont also explains that it will also have a ‘Naruto run’ of sorts: an iconic sprint from the popular anime series in which characters lean forward while running with their arms fully behind them. “We have a race on top of the buildings that has a bit of a wink to it,” he says.
As a great admirer of Tenchu series and stealth games in general, I’m happy to see the assassin’s creed The series attempts to fully embrace a darker gameplay style once again. While I have enjoyed recent posts like Odyssey and Valhalla, It was very easy to overpower most of the enemies with the aggressive combat skills of its protagonists.
Assassin’s Creed Shadows It is currently scheduled to release on February 14, 2025 after a delay. It will come to PS5, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, PC and Amazon Luna.
