Prices
Each in the currency that store quoted — not converted: the gap between two rows is the publisher's pricing, not an exchange rate.
Availability
We put this game to every storefront we collect. A market that answered not sold has told us something about the game; a market we never asked has not, and the two are never drawn the same.
Charts
Each storefront's own chart, in its own country — the closest public signal to sales where none is published. A country missing from a list is one we don't collect there, not one where the game doesn't chart.
Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.

About
“Shadows is some of the most fun I’ve had with a stealth game in a decade” —PC Gamer
Play as Naoe, a quick-witted shinobi, and use light, sound, and shadows to evade detection. Infiltrate enemy strongholds with many parkour options including the new grappling hook, distract guards with shuriken or smoke bombs, and assassinate your targets with your Hidden Blade. As the samurai Yasuke, use silent bow takedowns or unleash devastating melee combos with your katana or naginata.
Switch between these two heroes to adapt your strategy and experience feudal Japan through two radically different approaches – stealth and strength, shadows and steel.

Hors solde à fuir. Autrement vraiment moyen
A very Japanese game; the hay piles you leap into from viewpoints have extreme jiggle physics (seriously). One thing I love about this game is there is a setting you can turn on to make assassinations instakills for all (except way higher level opponents) just like in the original AC games. As much I loved Odyssey and to a lesser extent Origins and Valhalla, I thought it was so dumb that you can stab someone in the neck and it only takes off like a third of their health. It felt like they were dissuading us from investing skill points into a stealth playstyle and were instead forcing us to engage with their just okay combat system. Well, they still go that route with the default settings in Shadows, but you can change it so stealth is fun and satisfying again. The main character Naoe, has no charisma as per usual for AC. Well, Odyssey's protagonists both had rizz as did Ezio, but that is it out of all their games because AC tends to take itself way too seriously. Naoe is very young, like 19 or something, and she thinks like someone of that age. As for Yasuke, I am 10 hours in and I haven't unlocked him yet. From what little I saw of him in the opening of the game, he seems like a trope of a protagonist who is smarter, more virtuous, stronger, more skilled, and more capable than everyone around him so he isn't looking any more promising than Naoe in the charisma department.

14 of 15 markets; the rest we haven't asked for this title, not markets where it is unavailable.
14 on sale1 answered “not sold”0 we did not ask
The 1 “not sold” market is read from the Steam price pass of Sep 5: that day the store answered for this game elsewhere and gave no price there. The 14 priced markets are the same rows as the table above — each the latest price we hold, dated here when it is older than that pass. The 0 marked “not asked” were not put to this store at all — either it has no storefront there or we do not collect it yet, and neither is a statement about the game. A refusal is a refusal on one day; a store can list a title again tomorrow.
Latest in each market: best KR #35, worst CA #97 · 13 markets collected
US · last 30 days
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Poland over the last 30 days: the 20 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 10.5 places towards #1, and the 2,491 moves with no price cut behind them went 1 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

对不起这个价格 无聊的跑图游戏 赶路卡ui也不知道为什么 用的宏碁GM6 气的开挂直接快速传送 但比赛博朋克差太多了
Negatives: - Mediocre story and even worse cutscenes - Game abandons its core combat mechanics in domains, and extra content - Having to complete the game twice to unlock all achievements - Too much grind to unlock max level / all abilities (masteries) - Trees and Non-traversable terrain take up too much space, otherwise empty map - Viewpoints / Hideout (Kakurega) not coming along in NG+ - Allies sometimes stand passively in combat Positives: + Different weapon types with both different assassination as combat options + Graphics and audio
It’s nothing short of a masterpiece. The artistry is breathtaking, I can lose myself for hours in the landscapes, the dynamic weather, and the ever-shifting seasons. It’s an experience that feels truly extraordinary. Returning to Shadows after Black Flag Resynced, I find myself enjoying it just as much, though for slightly different reasons: the combat is deeper and more intricate, the parkour feels sharper, and the world carries a distinct aesthetic that sets it apart. The sheer effort poured into this game is monumental, and the creators deserve immense gratitude for bringing it to life. In summary: a masterpiece.
推荐，好玩
The graphics are beautiful, the world is incredibly detailed, and the assassination gameplay feels smooth and satisfying. The story is also really good. My only complaint is that some assassination missions can feel a bit repetitive after a while. This game is perfect for people who love completing everything properly — clearing every area, executing clean assassinations, exploring the entire map, collecting all the gear, and perfecting their builds. If you’re the type of player who wants to conquer everything and go for 100% completion, Assassin’s Creed Shadows is definitely worth playing.

老AC粉，英灵殿以来本来已经放弃这个系列了，借着黑棋重置的情怀突发想试试影，通关后也算是对这个系列重拾一点信心了。 -日本战国题材背景比较有代入感，双主角的设定，多样化做的很好，小江前期高难度回归刺客本初，弥助Boss战战斗爽；战斗系统配合丰富的装备词条构筑，十分上瘾。 -剧情方面因开放世界设计，情绪表达没有线性流程这么流畅，但好在复仇主题比较直爽。 主线真幕府部分剧情过完印象比较薄弱，幕府结局收尾也做的比较敷衍；不过好在小江开篇和弥助身世几个篇章做的比较好，另外鬼武士、黑十字和DLC淡路之爪的补充剧情也都很不错。 -BGM插入很神，非常抓耳配合剧情演出享受。 -画面依旧系列传统烧显卡独一档的美 总的来说非常值得一玩的AC系列，9.0/10
还是大地图，真的无聊透顶，不是跑图就是在跑图的路上，为什么就不能像幻景，大革命，枭雄那样搞个小地图，而且要整个双主角，搞个单主角很难吗？你哪怕像对马岛主角一样也好，主角换来换去真的很累，说实话除了画质音效打击感以外我实在找不到这游戏有什么好玩的地方
