Assassin’s Creed Shadows is adding two new heroes to the pantheon of brave and stealthy killers that span the centuries of the series’ historical fiction. One is Naoe, a ninja who will don the hood and hidden blade commonly associated with the titular Assassins of Ubisoft’s open-world action franchise. The other is Yasuke, a Black samurai based on the historical figure of the same name. We don’t know much about either character just yet, but thinking about new Assassin’s Creed heroes naturally makes us reflect on the Assassins we’ve inhabited over the years. So what better time than now to rank the heroes of the Assassin’s Creed franchise? Grab your hidden blades, it’s time to pit assassins against each other.
