Yasuke only after 10-20hrs

[Soulreaver]

I wanted to play as a tank.
Apparently it takes between 10-20 hours until you're able to play Yasuke. So for me it would probably take 30hours.

That's probably a dealbreaker for me. I won't be able to play with the main character of my choice for such a long time and therefore couldn't even test my main characters combat before the refund window is over.

Hope that design decision was worth it.

Rip. Yasuke is the best part of the game.

Well according to the reviewer I watched Yasuke feels fine but very much like an after thought. Like they made the game for Naoe and then put Yasuke in and adapted some aspects for him.

Yeah I’ve heard that too. Tbh 2 protags is weird, wish it was just Yasuke

I think 2 protags was supposed to come with co-op, but co-op is pushed so far back most people don’t even know it’s coming Sometime

There are no dealbreakers with Shadows.

It's going to win Best Action/Adventure game of 2025.

It's going to win Best Audio Design.

This poisonous snake has a legitimate shot at Game of The Year.

It's a dangerous video game. Out of fear alone I would buy Assassin's Creed: Shadows.

I only learned a few days ago myself. It’s coming pending some catastrophe, but from the way it’s been marketed (or lack thereof) it’s years off.

I have no idea where you are getting your sources from. YouTubers have already played the prologue hands on and it walks you through the intro to each characters story where you don't have a choice yet of who to play but then as soon as the prologue ends you can play as whoever you want and the world opens up. So imagine the Norway prologue of Valhalla but being half played as Yasuke and the other half played as Naoe, and then once you get to England you can freely switch.

Maybe, but a german Youtuber associated with Ubisoft said it and he also said he checked with other reviewers and they all were in that Ballpark.

So if it's structured as you say it doesn't necessarily contradict what he's saying. Although taking 20hours for half the intro seems odd.

As always the truth probably lies somewhere inbetween.

Source?
There are already full story releases and you can play him within 10 minutes when you start new game .. if you dont count the cinematics, practically immediately

Frag Nart.
He's a German Youtuber who also did Voice Acting for one AC Game.
So regarding Ubisoft Games in germany he's the go to guy who also makes all the guides and so on.

The story length is 30-40 hours so maybe it could be 10 hours of the prologue if you 100% the prologue like you could 100% the Norway region before going to England. But I know most content creators that played it only had like 6 hours with the game and most everyone did the whole prologue and then a played a later save file main storyline quest. So just with the time they had I would guess you could do the prologue in 2-3 hours if you weren't looking to 100% the prologue.

Completely irrelevant information ..
Checked many new games right now from different people, they all start the same, your sources seems to be a lie

That differs also vastly from what he said. He said, if I remember correctly ~40hrs was the official Ubisoft statement for the storyline but apparently it takes a good chunk longer. I think he said he and most of his peers took 55-60 hours or so.

Do you have a link to some? He generaly is known for being very transparent so I'd be surprised.

He even states that he spent thousands of euros on AC games.

I mean it'd be great if he could be played right away. That would definetly make me reconsider getting Shadows.

Okay even Luke Stephens says in his review it took him 12 hours.
I might be wrong but I start to think you guys just make ♥♥♥♥ up.
