Assassin’s Creed Shadows Art Book Leaks on Hentai Forums a Month Before Game’s Release
[summaraize]
Nowadays, it’s common for an “Art of” book to be released alongside a major video game or soon after. Assassin’s Creed Shadows is one such title that will receive one shortly after its launch next month. Strangely, the art book, “The Art of Assassin’s Creed Shadows,” has managed to make its way online in its entirety ahead of its release.
Now might be a good time to go dark if you plan to play Assassin’s Creed Shadows next month, as the latest leak is quite significant.
The Leak Comes From an NSFW Site, Though Not Entirely Out of the Norm
The full Art of Assassin’s Creed Shadows has made its way online. The source? A hentai website known as E-hentai. As bizarre and random as that may be, the website features dozens of official art books for video games, meaning the posting itself isn’t at all that strange.
Still, the art book isn’t set to release until March 31, ten days after the official release of Assassin’s Creed Shadows. It’s surprising to see it leak so early, and it’s perhaps the most significant leak for the game so far. The art book contains hundreds of concept and finalized art pieces, giving us a look at some of the locations we are expected to visit, along with yet-to-be-revealed characters and plot points in the story.
This ultimately means that spoilers are likely to surface if the book has any primary story references. Of course, we won’t share any of that here, but instead, offer a warning to those wanting to play the game completely blind. It might be a wise time to start muting words around the game or just avoiding the internet until its release. Unfortunately, that won’t be for another month, so that may be a little hard to do with how early this leak appeared.
That’s not to say that Assassin’s Creed fans aren’t used to leaks by now, as over the past years, many leaks have surfaced about the franchise, including one for a remake of Assassin’s Creed Black Flag. It just sucks that something like this happened so close and yet still away from its release. Again, this is more of a warning to those wanting to avoid any potential spoilers that may come out of it.
Assassin’s Creed Shadows will be released on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC on March 20.
