Assassin’s Creed Shadows weapon customization gives players more options as Ubisoft gives more details about the options to personalize their weapon arsenal. The game is set in Feudal Japan, featuring a wide range of weapons such as katanas, kanabō war clubs, yari spears, kuanalia, shuriken, and kunai that can all be customized according to specific play styles. Players can change individual elements of their weapons to change both the appearance and the performance of their gear.

Each weapon in Assassin's Creed Shadows has its progression system for skills, meaning that players can continually increase their effectiveness with time. The more a player uses a specific weapon, the more abilities and refinements they will unlock, making them more experimental with other load-outs. This design feature guarantees the development of uniquely different fighting styles for both protagonists, the shinobi and the samurai, respectively.

Apart from weapon customization, Assassin’s Creed Shadows also has a customizable hideout where players can build and upgrade buildings. It will serve as a training, crafting, and mission planning base, adding more strategy and immersion. In the latest incarnation of Ubisoft’s franchise, the studio has made their overall goal to deliver the richest level of depth yet, one in which players can really live in Japan’s Sengoku period.
