History

Historical Context

Ubisoft's upcoming game, *Assassin's Creed Shadows*, set in 16th-century Feudal Japan, draws from a rich historical backdrop. During this period, samurai and shinobi navigated a fragmented landscape dominated by powerful daimyos, following the chaos of the Onin War (1467-77). This era saw the rise of individual clans, shaping Japan's military and cultural identity, ultimately leading to the unification under Tokugawa Ieyasu in 1600.
