STEP INTO FEUDAL JAPAN
Introducing a brand-new augmented reality experience based on Assassin's Creed Shadows. In these detailed immersive scenes, you will visit Japan during the war-torn Sengoku era.
See castles and landscapes inspired by locations from the game. Find the skilled shinobi, Naoe, as she leaps from tree branches and rooftops. Or encounter the fierce samurai Yasuke, as he shows off his combat skills.
All these scenes were meticulously crafted and animated within Adobe Aero. We pushed the platform to its very limits to bring you a true Assassin's Creed experience.
Using models from the actual game as our starting point, designers and 3D modelers translated the epic grandeur of the franchise into a lightweight adventure that fits into your phone --- no large download required.
With just 50MB of data to work with, we packed each scene with detail and texture: from the swaying leaves of a cherry blossom tree to the fiery crackle of torches and the gentle drop of a snowflake. And we made Naoe and Yasuke come alive, wearing their iconic hoods and armors, and showing off their skills in fluid, lifelike animations.

Please note this augmented reality experience requires an iPhone, iPad, or supported Android device.
Observe Naoe, showcasing the art of a stealthy shinobi as she infiltrates an enemy stronghold under the cover of darkness.
No matter how harsh the weather or how remote the location, a samurai must always be ready for battle. Join Yasuke and his fellow warriors as they train on a snowy mountain fort.
Want your favorite character to hang out on your desk or gaming room, this is the experience for you. Learn more about the Naoe and Yasuke as well as some of their weapons in this experience.
Shinobi are always honing their skills. Watch Naoe as she practices her high-flying parkour skills under the shade of a cherry blossom tree.
As a samurai, Yasuke knows his weapons are an extension of himself. Watch him sharpen his attacking abilities, as he wields his katana or shoots his bow and arrow.
