It's widely known by this point that Assassin's Creed Shadows has two protagonists, but apparently if you choose to primarily play one over the other, you won't be missing out on a bunch of content.

In an interview with ScreenRant, Assassin's Creed Shadows director Jonathan Dumont explained how he personally chooses to spend his time between the two protagonists. They both have their own unique strengths and weaknesses, with Yasuke is big, powerful, and brutish, while Naoe is light, nimble, and quick, and Dumont wisely takes advantage of that.
