Assassin’s Creed Shadows
Fans have been wanting an Assassin’s Creed in Japan for years now, and we’re finally getting it! It’s going to be so exciting to get back into the swing of things, assassinating bad guys. But, most importantly, being able to create our own hideout like it’s secretly Animal Crossing: New Leaf. I look forward when Shadows comes out this week.
