A new tweet on the official handle for Assassin’s Creed is a welcome show of appreciation for all of the Assassins who have been sneaking around ancient Japan and hunting the Shinbakufu this past year.
With 334,384,499 hours spent cumulatively in the game’s take on the Sengoku period, and more than four billion targets falling to all of our hidden blades, it’s quite clear that Shadows has given the franchise a much-needed shot in the arm. It’s certainly the beginning of a fresh new start for the ones who strike from the, ahem, shadows. The fun hasn’t stopped there, as the Brotherhood’s Japanese chapter has seen 26 million cats receive their dues from Assassins who happen to be prowling in their territories.
If you didn’t get the chance to visit the game’s high-octane take on one of Japan’s most tumultuous periods, Naoe and Yasuke’s efforts to reclaim their homeland for its people were the basis for a very impressive title, leading to five million players within about three months. It’s going to be a guiding force for future projects in the franchise. It’s quite an exciting time to be an Assassin with multiple titles in the works and a new Netflix series on the way.
