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.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 12.57/day in the week to Sep 18 → 36.83/day in the week after.
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.

Reviews
Enjoying it a lot, I like the split protagonists stories for different reasons (although I find playing as Yasuke a hindrance and avoid it unless its a story specific mission). The wayward slave/revenge arcs are both interesting. Beautiful map (although marred with Ubisofts filling with dense folage to fill map space). IMO TURN ON GUIDED EXPLORATION, i think it disables some achievements but its better than running around an area for god knows how long or wasting scouting points which are bottle knecked early game and better used gaining resources. I hated it in the last two and I hated it worse here because of the way the map is structured in level. The stealth and combat is basic new AC akin to Valhalla in combat but thankfully more old school than the two entries before it in way of stealth. Overall a very rewarding experience. Side note, exercise self restraint and ignore the micro transactions for cosmetics.

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.

great game, fair warning though, you will be frustrated with the amount of un-climbable surfaces and the amount of plants and trees! they took the slider to nightmare mode

最好的罐头。
Das Spiel hätte noch mindestens ein Jahr Entwicklungszeit gebraucht. Aber Ubisoft kocht bekanntlich ziemlich gut mit der "gut genug" Formel.
奖励放脸上，拿不到，真恶心
The greatest Assassin's Creed game out there mechanics wise. The combat is fluid, the stealth feels realistic, the engine is phenomenal, the graphics are great, and the weather systems are innovative and provide a great sense of replayability. The story is fine, but would've been significantly better without Yasuke, who feels forced in to the title for DEI reasons. It's a shame.
super fun!
second best ac after odyssey
On top of everything after, the game launches but doesn't run on linux (will freeze within 1 minute of launching gameplay with no way to unfreeze). Game feels like a giant sidequest in which you barely have anything to do. Sneaking around doesn't feel very good because the AIs are basically blind except when your character runs around the map in front of everyone every time you try to assassinate someone. When climbing, the characters jump everywhere but where you want to, and the combat system is very repetitive and lacks any depth. The fights have a tendency to take forever, even with yasuke. The "choices" you make in the story have no influence whatsoever, and sidequests are basically "run to there, kill that one dude, come back to me", rinse and repeat. Not a terrible game, but not really any fun to me at least.
