- There was the trailer for the collectors edition for Assassin’s Creed Shadows that was released, and in that trailer, there was a moment where the full map seemed to be revealed to us. What I want to do in this video is pretty much go over the full map that was shown, and go over some things that I felt are worth mentioning in regards to the map such as breaking down each region and certain things that we might see in the game.

Assassin's Creed is an open-world, action-adventure, and stealth game franchise published by Ubisoft and developed mainly by its studio Ubisoft Montreal using the game engine Anvil and its more advanced derivatives. Created by Patrice Désilets, Jade Raymond, and Corey May, the Assassin's Creed video game series depicts a fictional millennia-old struggle between the Order of Assassins, who fight for peace and free will, and the Knights Templar, who desire peace through order and control. The series features historical fiction, science fiction, and fictional characters intertwined with real-world historical events and historical figures. In most games, players control a historical Assassin while also playing as an Assassin Initiate or someone caught in the Assassin-Templar conflict in the present-day framing story. Considered a spiritual successor to the Prince of Persia series, Assassin's Creed took inspiration from the novel Alamut by the Slovenian writer Vladimir Bartol, based on the historical Hashashin sect of the medieval Middle East.

But for Ubi'soft' it's all about the size 😂
Yeah yeah yeah been told that my whole life as a man with a small wiener
Small maps generally as they feel more alive and dense but with places like egypt and the Caribbean it can be done right to make it feel more alive
Origins map was shit. One of the most boring open worlds
@@yurakolesnikov9725and yours is one of the worst opinions anyone's ever had
@@jamesrt5352 buzz off you waste of space
@@yurakolesnikov9725 Cant agree with u it was great
Origins Odyssey and Valhalla open world was made very well so I'm not concerned.
Bruh if there’s gonna be this forest land in the map, they better bring back parkouring routes for trees, just like in AC3. Feeling like Tarzan in the frontier was dope asf.
Yeah i really hope they double down on that. The assassination in the first trailer showed tree parkour, so my hopes are up that they included it again. Also the throwing dart to pull people up the trees was insane in AC3, would love a comeback of this feature.
If the game is anything like Origins, that is a win for me
The more it is alike to origins the better
Origins is shit
@@yurakolesnikov9725Troll
bro we have the same pfp
@@yurakolesnikov9725 Nice joke
I much prefer big maps but the smaller maps of the older games fit the theme of Assassin's Creed better.
However if a big map is utilized well, then I would prefer that over anything else. It's good that they're going for an Origins sized map since it's going to be easier filling the map with things to do, plus it felt a bit boring traversing Odyssey's and Valhalla's maps.
Origins still had huge empty areas
@@trenaceandblackmetal5621 They couldn't even fill Alexandria with interesting content, idk what they thought with all the desert areas.
@@trenaceandblackmetal5621 it's called desert for a reason, so i think they did it on purpose
"Are you more of a big map person, or a small map person?"
Depends on the quality of the game and the care put into the world.
For example, Elden Ring was massive. Every time I thought I had the full map revealed, it'd open a new massive area. But I was totally there for it. Amazing experience through and through.
Valhalla was too big for its own good, the gameplay wasn't varied enough nor was the side content rewarding enough to make the map worth exploring, it felt like a slog.
Mirage was actually too small imo. It was great for the 30 hours it lasted but after that, there's nothing really to do.
If Shadows has really quality gameplay with rewarding exploration, I'm totally in support of a massive map that I can get lost in for months.
I don't care what anyone says, I'm excited for this game and the setting and the gameplay
Facts
My choice is a Big map that is dense if that makes sense 😅
I agree, I love full jungles I’m hoping hunting is a thing as well
Wanting a big map that is dense is a hard ask. Don’t think I’ve ever seen a big map that isn’t full of wasteful empty areas tbh. At least not for the games I’ve gotten into. It’s always an illusion of being a “big” map because you have to traverse these empty fields to get to various destinations.
@@Goodnightsrest probably we will have some kind of crafting elements 🤔
@@TakiGamesOfficial yeah unfortunately pretty hard task to complete 😅
Witcher, Skyrim..
I’m replaying Odyssey right now and their recreation of Greece is genuinely incredible! Can’t say enough good things about it
Facts, Odyssey gets way too much hate, I know its not really anything to do with the AC franchise but it's a great game. I think people see that is moves away from AC and people automatically just say it's shit without giving it a chance
@@TheCalmPlebIt should have been called:
Far Cry - Greek mythology
@@TheCalmPlebyou just hit the nail on the head. From what I've seen from others they say that Odyssey is a great game on its own, but since it's tied to the AC franchise and it removes quite a bit of what made the franchise so beloved it gets the most hate to the point where most of the fans claimed it doesn't "feel like Assassin's Creed". It also doesn't help that the time period takes place before Origins, which made the fans even more turned off by it😅
@@tylerwilson3507 100% bro, I don’t think people can say a game is shit just because it moves away from a certain story or franchise. It’s just people having preconceived opinions on something that hasn’t even come out yet
@@TheCalmPleb Love to see that Odyssey is getting some love! I'm replaying it right now, and it aged better than i remembered it. They really nailed ancient greece, its so insanely beautiful, that i sometimes just sit there in awe of the incredible view. The combat is snappy and satisfying, and if you spec into the right gear options, stealth is actually super viable and also super fun, don't know why some people say that you can't play stealth in Odyssey.
Here's the thing back in Odyssey and Valhalla we had gigantic maps but most cities, towns and area's just felt the same and it wasn't really alive. Small maps however can make places feel more alive and dense and it gives the chance to put more detail into the map.
(Also just wanted to say that i was inspired by The Hidden One and MasterAssassin to kind of start my own Assassin's creed youtube channel. So i just wanted to thank you Hidden One for really inspiring me to follow a dream of mine.)
Glad to see you started a channel because of me and MasterAssassin. That's cool to see. We need more AC youtubers that are commentary based
@@TheHiddenOne690 Agreed. I've been looking for channels commentary based AC youtubers for a long time. And i did find you and MasterAssassin through that search. I always wanted to become one. But for a long time i was afraid on wether or not i'd be good at it or if people would enjoy it. And to see the way you two never gave up really inspired me. So really thank you.👍
i want a small map densely packed with fun content to do, rather than a giant map with vast swaths of NOTHING that you have to ride for several mins to get anywhere.
Big map, I loved Egypt and if japan is anywhere as detailed as that map is then it’s a win for me
I don't think Origins map was detailed at all.
@@shadow_crne1030It was mostly detailed, there was something to do where ever I went.
@@shadow_crne1030what?????
@@samzony Except for that big desert in the center of the map.
@@sensational6111 ...... not enough for me.
I really like bigger maps in AC, but they need to be interactive, for example in AC Origins (big af map) but some areas or maybe even 1/3 of the whole map is a desert with only bandits lurking around
Big map person !
I recently visited Kyoto and let me tell you, it has a lot of history there that I’m hoping they capture in the game. The almost golden looking temple you see surrounded by water with small little mounds of land looks to be kinkaku-ji which I also visited while there. The temple in real life is completely gold plated and is an amazing place to visit if you go.
man top notch video
The game director already confirmed no mythology in the main game in a interview with GameSpot
So it's gonna be like origins and have a mythology dlc. Sounds fun I like it
@@biggysmallz40 yes, I still don’t like it though. The time period and area is WAY too cool to go with a ungrounded fictional story
@@ethanspassoff6366I think they can pull off the mythology stuff if they make it a smaller, separate story and not the predominant focus, unlike the fate of Atlantis dlc
@@lukethelegend9705 Wht you mean. Fate of atlantis was based on mythology like the whole game, i cant understand how one is supposed to make atlantis in game set in ancient greece where gods where the most important thing and even atlantis is some type of mythology and fictional.
Big maps packed with content
Big Map, with a detailed world design and the feeling of a lived in world!!!
Something i apreciate about this new mpa is that the rivers looks realistic running from mountains to the sea instead of just dividing the land into hundreds of islands that didnt existvlike in ac vallhala
About the myrhological part of ac shadows, i would like it if its not actually fantasized. Like the names of the yokais could be the screen names of targets we have to assassinate
The collecter’s edition is so cool and i think this conforms that there isn’t naval combat
I really appreciate your work .
Getting a heads up before the game .
Much appreciated
I'm very glad the open world is back I had a lot of fun with Odyssey and Valhalla it was not boring or empty. I will play this game for sure.
Nobunaga didn’t die in Yamizaki, but in the coup of Honnoji which happened before battle of Yamazaki.
Your content has become my go-to for inspiration!
I love Ubisoft games for their beautiful environments. I usually just explore without taking any mission
Big maps focus on two dimensions. ESPECIALLY when much of it is just water like black flag and odyssey, but Valhalla and Shadows are guilty of this too to some extent. Smaller maps give us the freedom of the third dimension, which black flag also delivers on despite having large waters because it has separate maps for dense cities. There’s nothing an Assassin needs more than freedom.
I prefer a small map
It's crazy how unitys map is considered small now
@@nestormelendez9005compared to the rpg games
@@caughtin1440p exactly even mirage is considered a small map now
yeah but the Mirage mal was empty and Bagdad was small fr tbh
Will shadows have confession scenes like Valhalla and mirage or will it be like odyssey?
12:25 Ise was actually one of the most remarkable regions in Japan at the time, as it's home to the Grand Shine (dedicated to Amaterasu, the head deity of the Shinto pantheon, whom you mentioned) - the holiest site in Shinto, as it houses one of Japan's three sacred treasures, a bronze mirror. The relation to Amaterasu is particularly relevant because, according to Japanese Imperial tradition, the Imperial Family descends directly from her.
If I were to guess how Ubisoft would incorporate the region in the game, I'd say they could make it so the bronze mirror (one of the three treasures I mentioned) is a piece of Eden/Isu artefact, or possibly even something straight-up mythological DLC, in which the Grand Shrine could act as the bridge to the Takamagahara realm, ruled by Amaterasu, similar to how we had the Elysium in AC Odyssey. Either way, I do hope Ubisoft goes on to include Ise because it was one of the regions I was most excited to explore!
I bet we're gonna get the kusanagi or muramasa blades as pieces of eden
5:59 yoshi was in the trailer when HI got pushed by yasuke and staped by Naoe
Big maps with biome variation
smaller to get to know the city/place with some outside exploring
For the expansion area it looks like Mie and Ise-Shima, and I'm guessing Amaterasu, being the Goddess of the Sun, will be an Isu and the shrine will be Isu technology
Great summary, however, a couple of pointers:
1) "Osaka castle" existed to an extent at the time...as it was built (1583) within the site (and remains) of the monastery fortress of Ishiyama Hongan-ji (destroyed in 1580);
2) Himeji castle should be significantly different from what it is today...as it was expanded in 1581 and a couple of times after...before being demolished, and rebuilt (expanded) in 1600 to roughly its current dimensions...
For me, my biggest concern is the map size claims that will meet AC: Origins size, but scale will be more representative of the locations size...the provinces on the map include a huge number of big settlements (both towns and cities), many historical relevant villages (case of Fukuchiyama we see on the trailer - there are several more important villages in tbe region), the post stations on the Nakasendo or Tokaido (played a major role in spionage and army movements back then), the religious complexes in the mountain ranges that should be in the game (e.g. Mount Koya or Mount Yoshino) etc...
Given the amount of content, it feels to me hard to believe they would be able to fit all this content in a map the size of AC Origins and make it justice....
I CANT WAIT 😅
I like big maps when executed correctly
2:00 the only map in Valhalla that had me engaged was America with the native Americans. Something about the unknown and barely explored region with almost no buildings and a native village was so beautiful, I’m also Native American so it was really fun going into my own history
I really like the realistic scale of this world seen on the gameplay... don't have to be big. Just decent size but with good activitirs, lived-in world, and realistic scale. For example, when you climbing a tall building with wide wall you feel that the wall have to be wide too... and you need some time to climb it until you reaches the top,
when it comes to big maps vs small maps I fall in the range of medium to average sized maps
Origins map size was perfect to me, it felt giant and there was lots of stuff to do in the open world
Yes origins map is so much fun like odyssey except Valhalla map was boring and empty
I don't mind a big map. As long as it's loaded with actual interesting stuff to do that isn't repetitive.
Map seems like it will fit perfectly 😅
Yeah not too focused on size. I just want know how many side activities (not side quests) they gonna be. Will there return of gladiator style tournaments like in origins.
Will be there be chance sail sea on ship like black flag other than don't want be just one area of Japan if that make sense
Is it confirm that there will be yonkais?
NOW Ubisoft gained 5 points of my attention. Close-to-real-life map, cities and villages size is something very nice.
I'm looking forward to be stunned by the graphics and spend some time sight seeing in Japan 😂
When i was playing the RPG Trilogy (Origins, Odyssey, Valhalla) i really wanted a single city AC game like we used to have. When we finally have Baghdad in AC Mirage, i changed my mind and wanted the full scale open world like the RPG trilogy...
Instead of Osaka castle, I hope we got to see the Ishiyama Hongan-Ji
Most of the criticism about this game is about Yasuke and stretches the line between racism and genuine criticism
Im big map person, i dont like being stuck in one big city. I like landscapes and forests, as well as seas, mountains and isles. That also means, that i can go to alot of forts that each requiers better stealth than the other, deppending of their size.
7:11
I don't know about Japanese provinces, but I do know that "Tanba" and "Tamba" are the same thing in Japanese
then you would be correct
I'm more of a big map person because I love the sense of exploration and wonder
My perfect idea of a map is cyberpunk if it executed the vision the way it deserved. It was a great maze of a city with tons of potential for vertical density. It’s also could’ve been an S tier parkour game if they put effort into that aspect. But overall I’d prefer a small map with a lot of depth to a large map with some depth
Me personally I like one dense city with a lot of npcs and being a assassin using social stealth
I want a dlc that enables us to go to Edo (old Tokyo) that is, at that time, in construction by Ieyasu Tokugawa, an allie of Nobunaga who becomes Shogun in ≈1600 (what makes me think we might get this dlc is that his family crest is on the artbook)
I prefer a focused map. I think a large map can be focused, but it’s generally easier to achieve that with a smaller, tighter map
I prefer big maps, but the size of a map always depends on what they can deliver, as long as each region feels different in terms of landscape, infrastructure and culture.
I was fine imwith the origins map, and sinze this will be the same size but not covering as much area, i.e. it being more dense, i think it can be very good. Itll also be more realistic proportions and stuff so im excited.
I like a big map to explore in an rpg game, but it needs to be more linear when it comes to progression in the main story of the game. Limits in an open world rpg gets me more immersed and in sync with the story and the games characters. I hate a game where you can just charge forth and instantly gain level and then crap on low level enemies in the beginning of the story. It's just not as fun and fulfilling in my point of view. I just like to have a challenge.
Sorry for the rambling.
In an expansion, it would not surprise me if they were to venture into the Kanto region so they can include Tokyo and Mount Fuji 🤔
I really hope we can go to Mount Fuji
I think sumo wrestling would be a fun side activity as yasuke
Smaller, more detailed and more intimate maps with more unique locations and missions > Massive maps where everything looks the same and you only visit each location for half an hour before moving on to the next location and never setting foot there ever again.
If the map is big and empty like in Odessey then I would prefer smaller maps like brotherhood.
They can make the size accurate but make everything else inaccurate, cherry blossoms and rice harvesting in the same season, cherry blossoms turns green, Tori gates as entrances to towns.
I like big maps in the RPG games but the thing I noticed is the city's aren't built for good parkour it's mainly just jumping from roof to roof and climbing so if they made the city's specifically for good parkour then I'd be fine with the rest of the map but they just aren't dence enough for a good parkour rout so that's something I'd like to see in this game, anyway come to think of it maybe just make the map around orgins or a little smaller and build the city's for parkour and I'm good and I'm meaning like how mirage city's look, so picture that then have the open world what you can explore with secrets, base camps etc, and I'd like them alot more
While not a huge AC fan/player, Black Flag was the 1st one I played and Origins is probably my 2nd favourite open world game I've recently played, but, Shadows looks like an AC game I wouldn't mind getting into again.
Odyssey only got 20hrs of play before I called it quits, and I'm already British so I didn't care much for Valhalla and horseriding around boring England countrysides and, Mirage seemed like Origins 1.5 without Bayek, so I skipped that one too.
Been in love with Japan since I was a kid in the 90s and ancient feudal Japan will be even more scenic, plus, it helps that he's a black man living in Japan (a dream of mine).
3:10 i am the storm that is approaching🌩🌩🌩
Is there a Japanese dub in the game?
AC in japan is somethign i dreamed of as a kid ever since i was parkuring around jerusalim killing templars all those years ago. Now I have to be clear that I want Assassins Creed in Japan, meaning that big brute with a musket is not what I came for. My only question is how much of the story is mandatory to play as him, since I know Ubistof and they sure as F did not spent all that dev time on 2 characters only for me to play 1. So my only question is, will I be able to play 90% of game with only the assassin?
I'll say this about big maps the witcher 3 has a huge map and it's a game i can i still play and enjoy even after multiple playthroughs because it's done so well Valhalla is a huge map but I'm not even halfway through because it's hard to stay interested in big maps are not a problem so long as it's done well
At 8:00 what landmark is he talking about? The Arc?
I think the bigger the map then the better!
Are Tsutsu from Ghost of Tsushima and Settsu from AC Shadows the same region? If yes, then why is the spelling different?
Not the same. GoT is set on the island of Tsushima
AC shadows is set in the Kansai region of mainland Japan
The important thing is that we want a lot of fighting, a lot of checkpoints, forts and camps Like Odyssey
this gotta be satire
I think it depends on the game. I would always take quality over quantity.
For instance, the smaller maps of the ME trilogy was more effective than the larger maps of Andromeda.
Open worlds are only fun if they are full of meaningful content. If you are spending most of your time just running from place to place with nothing going on then it is just boring.
Out of the open world AC games, I think Origins was the closest to getting the balance right. I never got bored of Egypt but Greece and England felt like a chore.
Good, small maps with tons to do and details is much more than huge map with nothing in it. Just hope it is filled with things to do. Not just collect this and that randomly scattered in roof/cliffs.
Nice
Small map ON TOP 🗣️🗣️
I far prefer a good large map. Mirage's map was essentially just one or two towns because of all the blank space, and valhalla's map was huge but similarly empty. Games like Elden ring and horizon zero dawn/forbidden west had large maps jam packed with unique experiences.
I rather a smaller map full of places to discover and not empty spaces you just travel through. Still it looks so beautiful that I will discover every inch of the map.
I would rather have a small Kyoto that feels full rather than large kyoto that geels lifeless. I still cannot remember a single thing about Athens
I thought... I can use naoe to go from town to town by jump across the trees in forest like real ninja, or at least like in ac 3
As long as the world is satisfying, don't really care what size it is tbh. As long as there's stuff to do in the world and also fast travel, I'm good :).
I don’t care if the map is big or not as long as it’s good. Black Flag is a good example of a big map and Unity is a good example of a small map.
Origins felt amazing as you discovered each region bit by bit. Odyssey was just as good but it got overwhelming. Valhalla was just boring.
This games world is looking incredible so far and I hope it brings back the epic feeling of discovery like in Origins.
Why was Valhalla boring? I haven’t play it yet
@@corenko it was dull and not interesting at all
@@corenko the map is boring, the game itself is fine, if very bloated and drawn out. There just isn't enough interesting stuff on the map to make it as fun to explore as the previous two games. But I still enjoyed my overall experience with Valhalla.
It's just England is very boring to explore @@corenko
origins regions are also really boring. half of the map is just desert . i'd rather explore grasslands than deserts.
If lot's of interest and content include than fine with me, 🙂, I'm curious about dlc locations
Smaller map with unique buildings and styles beats Valhalla's huge map with unremarkable cities
Personally I’m hoping the DLCs give more of the map or separate areas of the map like with Valhalla. Not massive or anything but cool new areas that add onto the Japan map as a whole. Personally I’d love if Hokkaido or Tokyo were included as DLC
Tokyo didn't exist at that time, fool.
Good sized map exactly 3 inches
3 is too big, 1 with a lot of personality is all you need.
Facts lmao
Whilst Valhalla’s map is rubbish, I can confirm it is accurate from living in England
I am still skeptical about that map in the collector's addition being fully revealed
I prefer a dynamic world
Size doesn't matter for me
Depends.. Will a big map have enough content to justify the size? Then yes. If not, then no, stick to smaller maps
Bout to be the best assassins creed in the series
Dam, so hopefully we won't see Mount fuji until a dlc
Big map always
Size of the map never bothered me. Fast travel for a reason. So that argument has always been a strange one. Personally, Valhalla was beautiful riding through England. And there was usually a small poi every now and again
Would Assassin's Creed: Shadows be overshadowed by the release of GTA 6 in 2025? I think everyone is more interested in that, but I'm still hyped for Assassin's Creed: Shadows.
