Assassin’s Creed Shadows talks about playing the deadly duo

After 14 games and about 20 years, Ubisoft’s’ The shades of the killer of belief Finally, the concession was brought to the Japan feudal era. In addition to continuing The series “ Invad by work lands, Shades It comes with two formed heroes, and their entire formation: Fujibiyashi Nae, the young Shinobi follows in the footsteps of her parents’ murderer, and Yasuke, African Samurai that served during the reign of Lord Uda Nobunaga.

all Doctrine The game rises and decreases depending on its progress, and for some of its representatives, those roles were the first time that you (or championship) in a video game. This is the case with both the actors in Naee and Yasuke, MASUMI TSUNODA and Tongayi Chirisa. In an interview with him recently with IO9, both revealed that they entered the tests of each of them, knowing that it was for the game project, not just Fighter especially. Things at that stage were very secret, Tsunoda was under the impression that she would play samurai instead of ninja. I had no great experience with the privilege in advance, and he was not tested together or even met until reading the first schedule of the game.

This position is not completely different from the relationship of their characters early in the game. At the end of the first chapter, Nao and Yasuki crosses the paths as they start about the revenge of her village and the killing of Nobunaga. What is in the beginning is a tense alliance between the husband becomes a true friendship, and many reviews of the game have highlighted its dynamics as a high point. It seems that this is already in the cards from the beginning: During our conversation, Tsunouda remembered the suitability of Sherisa to her mental image of what I imagined the actor of Yasuki’s voice, describing him as “a big -hearted and warm man with a great laugh. I felt I already knew him.”

“There was an immediate chemistry and a level of rest between us,” I continued. “It is always a blessing when she works with another actor and they are great, but if you really call them on the human level, this is not just another working day.”

Part of what Drew Tsunoda to the project is the opportunity to photograph a Japanese person in Japan, which she said was not always available to her. In NAOE playing, she requested advice from the former MCAP artists and actors, and summoned her training from the championship in Netflix 2021. Princess Yakuzaand The protagonist Akimi is undergoing a similar journey to “restore her strength” after she lost her remaining family. As you tell her, Akemi’s playing in this movie was completely useful for her performance and MCAP performance in Shades.

“When I booked for the first time Princess Yakuza, I revealed that I am a fear of sharp things such as thorns and knives. I had to carry a sword in this movie, so to overcome this fear, I took lessons in fighting the sword. Without it, I could not direct Naee energy. “

Like his co -star, Chirisa comes from a TV background and a movie, and it can be currently viewed on AMC’s Mayfair Witches. He played a very small voice in Wolfinstein: the new ranking, But it was new to video games. As a fan of work in Avatar and Monkey planet Movies, the possibility of a passionate vehicle, and the technique of filmmaking is seen as more supported by imagination than TV or movie. MOCAP for Shadows “He explained: “I did not feel that there was a wrong way to imagine things. It was like the theater that the greater I am, the better.”

While NAOE was specially created for Shades, Yasuki is inspired by a real historical figure. Chirisa has not played the role of African samurai before (part of what drew his attention from the part), and he wanted to add to the “rich depth” of Yasuke who he saw often re -imagine the Japanese media. To help inform his interpretation, the actor made his own research on the history of Yasuki during the Senguk period. There is not a lot about the place where Yasuki lived precisely before working in the shadow of the Italian Jesuit, Alessandro and the Geno, but what are the records that were allowed to “deepen” the cultures that were present at that time and draw a more accurate background historically.

The actor also attributed the proportions to the emergence in Zimbabwe – Near Mozambique and Angla, two countries that are tactful Yasuke – beneficial to his operation. Not anything he learned regarding slavery and trade across Africa during that time period, but they helped “suppress the emotional journey Yasuki traveling from being from home to finding himself and becoming one of the samurai in Nobunaga.”

Yasuki’s relationship with Nobunaga and his beginnings are covered as a slave at the hands of the temple through the memories of the past, as well as the development of Nao in a killer. Each of their individual stories takes place months or years before the start of the game and is present as a separate part, but connected to them The shades of the killer of beliefComprehensive narration. There are a lot of cutting operations in it, and the MoCAP for these scenes was largely intense: it was shot once a week, and it was not all done in order.

According to Tsunoda, the game book and the production team will provide an additional context during the shooting of scenes that were not serial or confusing. Chirisa said that help in the background included even when the scene in the story was happening and the emotional state of the characters at that moment, all of which helped them “find ourselves and the space we need to be.” An additional help from the Mattheu Crosseet manager, which Tsunoda said he advised them to make a suitable movement for video games and how they will search for it.

“Matteo had the full playing book for the game in his mind,” Sherisa added. “We always had someone on the ground with us, and he knew exactly what we needed to do and how it was supposed to look. Everyone in this project was ready to play. You had to use your imagination, and You The tool should have become, so there was nothing you had to tend to like a collection of movies. ”

Although production falls in rinsing/repetition, it was advanced about being part of the game, describing it, “Nothing is less than Is it not in the country of wonders? (expertise).”

Early, Shades‘ Creative director Jonathan Domont was the development of the game into the marathon race, and Tsunouda told that she would play Nae for a very long time. The shades of the killer of belief Three million players exceeded, and March was recently unveiled. Best Sales Game In the United States, the second best year in the year behind it Wild Hunter monster.

At the time of writing this report, Awaji claws Expansion is the only known continuity of Naee and Yasuke adventures we get. We hope this is the last thing we hear and see Tsunoda and Sherisa in games.
