Assassin's Creed Shadows

Assassin's Creed Shadows is the subject of a manga titled Assassin's Creed Shadows: Tales of Iga, listed among North American manga releases for the week of June 14 to 20. The game itself is not otherwise covered in the current stories, which mention Assassin's Creed Shadows only through that manga release and through staff credits.

Synthesized from 2 Yomimono stories · updated Oct 9

Coverage of Assassin's Creed Shadows in the Yomimono stories is thin and indirect. The entity appears in two June and October 2026 items, neither of which reports on the game's development, release, or reception directly. The first is a weekly North American release roundup for June 14 to 20, which lists Assassin's Creed Shadows: Tales of Iga among the manga volumes arriving that week, published alongside dozens of other manga releases from Viz Media, Seven Seas, and other publishers, and a home video slate led by The Super Mario Galaxy Movie.

The second is a staff story. Rik Godwin, lead writer and associate narrative director at Ubisoft Bordeaux, said on social media that he spent the past few months working on Beyond Good and Evil 2 in a support and consultant role. His prior credits include Assassin's Creed Shadows and the Ghost Recon series. That is the full extent of what the stories establish about Assassin's Creed Shadows specifically.

Nothing in the stories gives a release window, platform, or sales figure for the game. The entity's current footprint in Yomimono coverage rests on a manga adaptation listed in a release roundup and on a writer's resume line. The Beyond Good and Evil 2 staff addition is the most recent story to name Assassin's Creed Shadows at all, and it does so only in passing. A reader looking for the state of the game itself will not find it in these two stories.
