Assassin's Creed Fans May Have Already Solved Shadows' First Big Mystery

A series of developer puzzles have been solved, hinting at the next game’s location

We’ve only seen one trailer for Assassin’s Creed Shadows, the next entry in Ubisoft’s open-world stealth- RPG series, but fans already think they know exactly where the game takes place. Beyond the era in which the game will be set, Sengoku-period Japan, a series of developer riddles has drip-fed information that seems to point to a specific area of Japan that will serve as the game’s location. Here’s what community sleuths have uncovered.

This turned into an ARG-type experience that included creators messaging in-lore characters on Discord, unlocking real-world locks, translating Japanese, and many other puzzles the community helped solve. Access The Animus, a YouTube channel devoted to the series, streamed the entire puzzle experience and completed it in around two hours. At one point a map is compared to a real map of Japan, with landmarks surrounding Kyoto and Osaka lining up.
