Ubisoft has unveiled new details about the combat and progression systems in Assassin's Creed Shadows. Game director Charles Benoit shed light on character development, loot, and weapon variety.

The game boasts a dual progression system: mastery points and knowledge points. Mastery points are earned through leveling up and defeating challenging enemies, while knowledge points are rewarded for completing missions and discovering hidden items. These points unlock new abilities and enhance weapons.

Each weapon features its own unique upgrade tree, allowing for highly personalized builds. Players can freely reset their progress to experiment with different strategies and weapon combinations. Importantly, each weapon offers distinct bonuses, making them effective in specific situations. For instance, legendary weapons like the naginata allow players to counter otherwise insurmountable attacks that other weapons can't deflect.

Assassin's Creed Shadows' combat system supports stealth takedowns, but actively encourages diverse combat approaches. As characters progress, additional stat upgrades become available, enabling further skill refinement. The developers emphasize that mastering all techniques and upgrades will require a substantial time commitment.

Assassin's Creed Shadows launches March 20th on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. Expect a rich experience blending stealth, combat, and strategic progression.
