Parkour has been an important part of the Assassin’s Creed franchise from the beginning, but Assassin’s Creed Shadows will be making some adjustments to the acrobatic running style. Ubisoft has already hinted that Naoe–one of Shadows’ new leading characters–can Naruto run in the game. But that’s just the beginning of what she can pull off while running.
Ubisoft has shared an extensive breakdown of Shadow’s new parkour options, as well as the revised button map for the game. One of the most notable changes is that the crouch and the dodge buttons have traded places. That will allow the player to either crouch or lie in a prone position. Naoe can even kill her targets while lying prone.
Yasuke–the game’s other lead character–and Naoe can both perform dodges while crouched, but only the latter can pull off a dodge in her prone stance. The other new parkour moves that Naoe can pull off include a wall-run eject and a backward dodge, which you can see below.
