Assassin’s Creed Shadows is set to enrich its storyline with a prequel manga, launching in select regions simultaneously with the game. The manga is expected to delve into the game’s historical context, particularly its feudal Japan setting, and the narrative will primarily revolve around a female Assassin.

Anticipations are high as the game, originally scheduled for a November 2024 release, has now been postponed to March 20, 2025. While players in Japan will receive the manga on the same day as the game, other regions will need to wait for an unspecified time to access the manga.

Ubisoft aims to deepen the lore with the prequel, giving fans a closer look at the background of the game and possibly its central characters.
