If you’re a fan of Assassin’s Creed, another installment in the series is en route to the Mac.
Ubisoft’s “Assassin’s Creed Shadows” will be the first major AAA title to launch simultaneously on Macs with Apple Silicon through the Mac App Store. The game is set to arrive on November 15th and will be available on the same day that it arrives for other platforms as opposed to becoming available for the Mac long after its release on other platforms.
Set for release on November 15th, the game features two main protagonists: a Shinobi assassin and a legendary samurai. The dual-character approach provides diverse gameplay mechanics and storylines, allowing players to switch between stealth and combat-oriented missions.
The story takes place across various detailed Japanese landscapes, and both characters have distinct skill sets and abilities, which can be upgraded through progression, offering a tailored experience depending on the player’s preferred playstyle. Players can either use stealth tactics or engame in direct combat. The game features an open-world environment, encouraging exploration and discovery.
From a technical end, the game is centered around the Apple Silicon hardware, which offers a killer suite of graphics and audio.
The simultaneous release highlights the capabilities of Apple’s M-series chips in handling high-end gaming experiences, further solidifying the company’s presence in the gaming industry.
Assassin’s Creed Shadows is exclusive to current-generation platforms like the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, PC, and Luna, notably skipping older consoles like the Xbox One and PlayStation 4. Pre-order the game on the Mac App Store today for $69.99.
Stay tuned for additional details as they become available.
