Assassin's Creed Shadows is resurrecting an ability not seen in Ubisoft's series for nearly a decade: the double assassination. 

The 'double assassination' ability used to be a key feature in the older Assassin's Creed games, starting out in Assassin's Creed 2 in 2009, and stretching all the way to Assassin's Creed Syndicate in 2015. Ever since then though, it's been conspicuously absent from Ubisoft's series, leaving players in the likes of Assassin's Creed Origins, Odyssey, and Valhalla with the ability to merely assassinate one enemy at a time.
