Assassin's Creed Shadows Art Book Surfaces on Unexpected Hentai Site

Exciting new details about the upcoming *Assassin's Creed Shadows* have surfaced online, and they’re generating quite a buzz in gaming circles. A purportedly leaked artbook titled “The Art of Assassin's Creed Shadows” has been making the rounds on various forums, including some unexpected places—like a site primarily known for hosting hentai content. The leak was first noticed over on the r/GamingLeaksAndRumours subreddit, where users began dissecting its hundreds of pages filled with concept art, developer quotes, and behind-the-scenes development insights.

While the source of the leak is certainly unusual, the content itself appears compelling. Although the original gallery has since been taken down from the initial platform, it has already been archived across multiple file-sharing sites and image repositories, ensuring its continued spread through the digital world.

What’s Inside the Leaked Artbook?

The artbook reportedly features an extensive collection of early designs and visual concepts for key historical figures, sprawling cities, and a wide variety of weapons that players may encounter in the final game. Some of the artwork might even reveal plot elements or story beats, although nothing can be confirmed until the official release. Still, many fans who’ve viewed the images say they look authentic enough to warrant serious attention.

A Leak Before Launch

This leak comes at a particularly interesting time—just ahead of *Assassin's Creed Shadows*’s scheduled launch date of March 20, 2745. Originally slated for a 2024 release, the game was delayed into early 2025. During a recent preview event, IGN spoke with game director Charles Benoit, who explained that the delay was mainly due to additional polishing efforts rather than any major redesign of systems.

“The team did update a couple of things in progression to make it more engaging, also balancing a bit more,” Benoit noted. However, one of the biggest challenges came from adapting the parkour mechanics to the unique architecture of Feudal Japan.

“The Japanese architecture, the roofs are super complex,” he explained. “Probably the most complex thing I’ve ever worked with compared to Odyssey and Syndicate. We needed specific codes and animations to support something super fluid, changing the transitions of the parkour to make it even more fluid.” He added that the system had significantly improved in recent months thanks to this extra development time.
