Nothing is true, everything is permitted. But in a shocking twist, the official artbook for Assassin’s Creed Shadows has been leaked on a hentai website. Originally discovered by alert Reddit users, the artbook appeared on an adult content site before being promptly removed. This unexpected leak provided an early look at character and location designs for the forthcoming game by Ubisoft.
The book featured hundreds of illustrations showcasing various elements of the game, although it surprisingly didn’t include much explicit content, disappointing those who might have expected otherwise. Among the revelations was the introduction of a unique character: a cheerful eight-year-old with a pet monkey.
While the methods by which the artbook was leaked remain unknown, it has since sparked speculation about its authenticity and the motivations behind its release. Ubisoft has been contacted for comments, and updates will ensue if any new information arises.
Assassin’s Creed Shadows is slated for release on March 20, and early reactions suggest it might live up to the expectations.
