FULL STORY
======================================================================

If you were one of the many slightly put off by the absolutely gigantic open 
world of Assassins Creed Valhalla , then it looks like the upcoming Assassins 
Creed Shadows will be much more your speed. 

In a recent interview with VGC , Simon Lemay Comtois, the associated game 
director at Assassins Creed Shadows developer Ubisoft Quebec, confirmed that 
the game will be a lot smaller in scope than its overwhelming predecessor. 
Its about roughly similar to Origins , so its smaller than Valhalla in terms 
of territory, he said. 

He went on to discuss the types of geographical features that players can 
expect to encounter compared to previous games. Its much more mountainous in 
Japan, small mountains and valleys, he explained. What we discovered with the 
team who went scouting in Japan is that most of the interesting stuff is in 
the valleys. 

He also confirmed that the game's map would only cover a small portion of 
Japan and provided some of the reasons behind this decision. The story that 
we focus on is mostly on central Japan, so we dont expand all the way to the 
entirety of Japan, so therefore we knew we had a rough idea for the territory 
we wanted to cover, he argued. 

So something important happens in Kyoto, something important happens in 
Osaka, Azuchi [...] and then we think about how much of the world do we need 
between those castles so that it becomes credible and feels like an adventure 
as you move between them. 

We were particularly impressed with everything that we saw of the world in a 
recent behind-closed-doors preview event , which led us to describe the 
Feudal Japan setting as the perfect backdrop for an Assassins Creed 
adventure. The game is set to launch on November 15 for PlayStation 5, Xbox 
Series X, Xbox Series S , and PC. You might also like... Dragon Age: The
