Assassin’s Creed: Naoe’s Naruto Run Confirmed!

Get ready for speed and stealth in Assassin’s Creed Shadows! The game features two contrasting protagonists: the powerful Yasuke and the incredibly fast Naoe.

Naoe’s Lightning-Fast Moves

Naoe, the shinobi character, is so quick she can perform a Naruto run, according to creative director Jonathan Dumont. While he didn’t explicitly label it as such, he confirmed her unique running style, leaning forward with arms back, mirrors Naruto’s famous pose.

More Than Just Speed

Dumont also revealed details about Naoe’s backstory, highlighting her connection to the Assassin Brotherhood through her father, a secret unknown to her initially. Her journey involves discovering her true origins and her place in a larger world beyond her training.

“A frog in a well knows nothing of the sea,” Dumont quoted, explaining Naoe’s transition from sheltered shinobi to a member of the Assassin Brotherhood.
