Even as the upcoming "Assassin's Creed Shadows" continues to navigate a wave of controversy, developer and publisher Ubisoft is sparing no effort in promoting the title. Beyond the main game, the company recently announced an official prequel comic, "Assassin's Creed Shadows: Tales of Iga." However, outside of Japan, global markets will have to wait until after the game's release for the comic to arrive.
According to Ubisoft's announcement on X (formerly Twitter), the "Assassin's Creed Shadows" prequel comic will launch simultaneously with the main game in Japan on March 20, 2025. For other regions, the comic's release date remains unconfirmed, with Ubisoft stating it will arrive "later."
Ubisoft shared details on X regarding the comic's premise:
While the comic's narrative precedes the game's events, its later release suggests it will serve more as supplementary content, further building out the world and lore of "Assassin's Creed Shadows."
The comic's release format remains unclear; it's not yet confirmed whether it will be a serialized work or a single-volume release. However, the number "1" printed next to the title on the revealed cover art suggests it may be the first in a series.
