It feels like a while ago that Assassin’s Creed: Shadows launched at the start of the year, and Ubisoft’s latest entry into the RPG side of its long-running franchise finally whisked players to the Japan setting they craved.
While sales data remains unclear, there’s no denying the game’s scale and the size of its open world, and if you’ve been on the fence, then we’ve got good news – you can get it for up to half off in Amazon’s Black Friday deals.

Assassin’s Creed: Shadows Is Up To 50% Off
PS5 fans are the winners here, because they can pick up the game for a little less than Xbox Series X players thanks to PlayStation’s Black Friday sale on games. If you’re on Sony’s console, it’s just $34.99, whereas it’ll set you back $39.99 on Xbox – saving you 50% or 43% respectively.

Whichever version you buy, you get the advantage of an Amazon Exclusive character pack for Naoe, one of the game’s protagonists (more on that in a moment). It includes legendary gear, weapons, a mount, and a trinket to use in-game.
The big shift this time around is the split between Naoe and Yasuke, with the former offering the stealthy, nimble Assassin’s Creed gameplay you’d expect from the franchise’s earlier entries, while the latter complements that with a hard-hitting, combat-focused approach.
In our review, Jarrett Green awarded the game an 8 out of 10 and said, “By sharpening the edges of its existing systems, Assassin’s Creed Shadows creates one of the best versions of the open-world style it’s been honing for the last decade.”
The game’s Claws of Awaji expansion launched in September of this year, and Shadows is slated to launch on Nintendo Switch 2 in December.
