Assassin's Creed Shadows tells a familiar but compelling story. Naoe watches her father die at the hands of a small army of masked warriors that she eventually learns are part of a secret organization called the Shinbakufu. Alongside the samurai-turned-ronin Yasuke, Naoe hunts down the Shinbakufu members one by one, claiming revenge with each kill and searching for the missing artifact that her father asked her to keep safe.
