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

Exciting new details about the upcoming *Assassin's Creed Shadows* have surfaced online following the apparent leak of an artbook titled "The Art of Assassin's Creed Shadows." First spotted on the subreddit r/GamingLeaksAndRumours, this extensive collection includes hundreds of pages filled with concept art, developer quotes, and behind-the-scenes insights into the making of the next chapter in the iconic franchise.

What makes this leak particularly unusual is its reported origin from a site primarily known for hosting adult content—specifically hentai. Although the original gallery has since been taken down, copies have been archived and shared across various file-sharing platforms, keeping the momentum of the leak alive.

IGN has reached out to Ubisoft for official comment regarding the leak, but no formal statement has been issued as of yet. The leaked artwork appears to showcase detailed concepts of historical figures, sprawling cityscapes, and an array of weaponry. While some of the visuals may contain potential plot spoilers, confirmation will have to wait until the game officially launches.

A Timely Leak Ahead of Launch

This leak comes at a crucial time, just ahead of the game’s scheduled release on March 20, 2025. Originally slated for a late 2024 launch, the game was delayed to allow the development team extra time for refinement. During a recent preview event, IGN spoke with *Assassin's Creed Shadows* Game Director Charles Benoit, who clarified that the delay was mainly focused on polish rather than systemic changes.

“The delay was mostly about polishing,” Benoit explained. “We updated a couple of things in progression to make it more engaging and did some balancing.” He also noted that the parkour system required special attention due to the unique challenges presented by Feudal Japan’s architecture.

“Japanese architecture, especially the roofs, are super complex,” he continued. “They’re probably the most intricate structures we’ve ever worked with compared to Odyssey and Syndicate. We needed specific code and animations to support smooth transitions during parkour. It’s something we really wanted to perfect, and it has improved significantly over the last few months.”
