Assassin's Creed Shadows jatkaa edellisen pelin eli Miragen viitoittamalla tiellä, ja pelialueen koko on sanalla sanoen "maltillinen". Ohjaaja Charles Benoit ilmoitti pelialueen koon Gamereactorin haastattelussa Ubisoft Forward -tilaisuuden jälkeen.
"I would say it's around the map of Mirage. The big difference with what we did in the past, it's the scale ratio of the world to make sure that when we were in Japan and we returned to Quebec, we were like, OK, the mountains are really steep. The castles are so big. If we really want to feel that, we need to change the scale ratio to have a bigger footprint on all those places."
"So it always feel like, oh, wow, it's gigantic. To make it more credible in a way. That's one of the big difference compared to what we did in the past."
Toisaalta on huomioitava, että aiemmin VGC:n haastattelussa Shadowsin kokoa verrattiin Assassin's Creed Originsiin.
Assassin's Creed Shadows julkaistaan 15. marraskuuta 2024.
