Assassin's Creed: Shadow will tell the backstory of the protagonist through a side "flashback"

Assassin's Creed: Shadow Creative Director Jonathan Dumont recently talked about the game's world, dual protagonist system, side missions, etc. in an interview with Screenrant.When asked about the content of side quests, Dumont explained three different types, including “question board or robber”, “peer relationship” quests, and “hidden behind meditation mechanics.”

These side missions “hidden behind the meditation mechanism” are exactly how Assassin’s Creed Shadow allows players to “experience Naoe and Yasuke’s past.”This means that the player will not know the background of the two protagonists at the beginning of the game.This also means that if you don't care about their story, you can choose not to do these side lines - but there is a high probability that these tasks will also be necessary for character enhancement.

On the other hand, the "Mission Edition or Bandit" sideline is the sideline type that already exists in the previous game of the series, and players will need to hunt down the targets in the world, but this time they may be Samurai or Ninja.The "People" mission allows players to help some characters to recruit them to the Assassin.

According to previous reports, the core content of the game will allow players to choose to use any protagonist to pass the level most of the time, and it seems that the side line is similar at present, as it seems that only the meditation mission will lock the character.

Assassin's Creed: Shadow will be released on March 20, and will be available on PS5, Xbox Series X and PC.
