For years, the story of the Japanese Brotherhood of Assassins was very much a mystery. Even though players knew of its existence, there was never a mainline game that really delved into its lore. Luckily, Assassin's Creed Shadows has arrived to finally deliver on that tale. Not only does it finally bring the franchise to the long-awaited setting of Japan, but it also sheds light on exactly what went down for this chapter of the Brotherhood.
