""Dual protagonists can be divisive along very strange lines, right? It's not just a, 'Well, I prefer a war, therefore I prefer Yasuke,' said Lemay-Comtois. 'Some people just don't like one character over the other, and they don't like to spend time with one. It was true with Evie and Jacob, but with Naoe and Yasuke it's more divisive. And we knew this. We knew going into it, but I think it can split our fan base a little too.'""
""For future titles, Lemay-Comtois called out parkour as something will be given a greater focus. He acknowledged that parkour hasn't been a priority in past Assassin's Creed games before adding, \"We're trying to rectify that in post launch with Shadows and push that narrative internally to say, 'parkour matters.' Let's really push parkour forward.\" Lemay-Comtois recently confirmed that Shadows will not get a second DLC expansion like most of its predecessors. Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot also stated that Shadows was pushed back because of the backlash against the game.""
Ubisoft has not shared plans for Assassin's Creed games beyond Assassin's Creed Shadows. Shadows features dual protagonists Yasuke and Naoe with distinct playstyles: Yasuke emphasizes physical confrontations while Naoe emphasizes stealth. Dual-protagonist setups can polarize players and contributed to backlash around character inclusion. Future titles could revisit dual protagonists when justified by narrative and setting. Parkour will receive greater focus, with efforts to rectify its prior deprioritization and to push parkour forward post-launch in Shadows. Shadows will not receive a second DLC expansion like most predecessors, and the launch was delayed amid backlash.
