LogInAn African-descended samurai and a female ninja as the main characters, an intriguing duo.
Shortly after yesterday's news about the unveiling of the official name of Ubisoft's new installment in the open-world action RPG series, several key art images from Assassin's Creed Shadows have been leaked and widely circulated online.

These images initially appeared online, courtesy of dataminer u/fraxR6, who obtained them from the Ubisoft store backend. Although the original images have since been taken down by the moderators of r/assassinscreed, some quick-thinking players managed to save and let them stay on social media.
The leaked images disclose two principal characters — what appears to be an African-descended samurai, and a female ninja. According to a report by Insider Gaming last year, it was suggested that the samurai may be inspired by Yasuke, the first African documented in Japanese history.
