Assassin’s Creed Shadows takes place in Japan circa 1579, near the end of what is known as the Sengoku period — 300 years before the advent of the incandescent light bulb. So it stands to reason that once the sun sets, the world that co-protagonists Naoe and Yasuke inhabit is going to get dark.

Gold is a special resource players can use in Assassin's Creed Shadows to power up their gear and make their characters stronger. So, this valuable resource is highly sought-after by many players.

RPG, Assassin's Creed Shadows can vary in its playtime hours, with completionists needing many dozens of hours to wipe the map of everything, while those focused on only the critical path will need far fewer (though still many) hours.
