There are things in this world that feel like they won’t ever happen: like me winning the lottery or Assassin’s Creed Shadows being released.

Well, at least one of them will come true soon. And since I’m still here writing, you can be sure it’s the launch of the new AC title.

AC Shados Will Finally Happen... Hopefully

Delay after delay let to speculations if the game set in 16th-century Japan’s Sengoku period would ever see the light of day – but it is now supposed to be available on March 20.

At that day you can start your journey playing the roles of Naoe and Yasuke in stunning stealth missions and nerve-wracking combat – at least when you’re PC is strong enough.

With Ubisoft announcing the system requirements for the game, fans realized that the specs to play the game in recommended quality are quite high. That’s why we have all the information for you to make sure you can even play the game once it is finally here.
