Yasuke, co-protagonist of the upcoming Assassin's Creed Shadows, is not one of the titular assassins, which means that he'll play a bit different than normal.

Assassin's Creed Shadows simply calls a spade a spade. Syndicate isn't the only AC game that's tried to broaden our combat horizons. Ubisoft has been seeding the concept of a non-assassin Assassin's Creed hero for years now, permitting greater flexibility and choice with each new game.

Since 'Assassin's Creed Shadows' protagonist Yasuke isn't an assassin, the character will miss out on classic abilities like Eagle Vision, associate game director Simon Lemay-Comtois has revealed.
