Ubisoft Should Look At What Previous Games Did Well

It is unlikely that developers will apply details and mechanics from a different game, especially one with a larger scope, to another. This is because the development teams worked separately from each other and likely did not communicate.

In a company as large as Ubisoft, with many divisions, this happens constantly, and fans might be disappointed by the lack of a quick throw mechanic.

However, one of the most notable aspects ofAssassin’s Creed Shadowsis that one of its protagonists, Naoe, will be a shinobi or ninja apprentice who will use all kinds of weapons related to this particular style, such as the famous shurikens.
