  • Many of our favorite forms of media have that one iconic thing that you instantly recognize as theirs. Think about the lightsaber from "Star Wars," Pokeballs from "Pokémon," or the TARDIS from "Doctor Who" - you spot them and you just know. It's the same with the "Assassin's Creed" series and its iconic hidden blade. Right from the first game, this retractable blade was introduced not just as a stealthy assassination tool, but as a symbol of the creed itself, reflecting the assassins' dedication to discretion and precision.

    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.

    Interestingly, I heard a leak about the hidden blade in Shadows will be interchangeable, yes there will be more than one.
    Similar to prostethic arm in Sekiro, we'll be able to change the hidden blade and have different gameplay advantages. We can use the pivot blade like the trailer, change it to a hidden gun like Ezio's, give it poison, etc...

    For Yasuke I'm curious how much "assassin" he will have, for a non stealth character the hidden blade wouldn't see much use, and for someone in full armor (with a helmet so no AC hood), plus ubisoft already said the game will be physics based, so standard AC parkour wouldn't make sense for him, so what AC thing could he still have?
