Stealth action darling Assassin's Creed is known for working across multiple timelines, but Assassin's Creed Shadows will seemingly pivot from the Basim and Loki-heavy storylines championed in the last two games to present "a new chapter of modern narrative."
In an Ask-Me-Anything thread on Reddit, Ubisoft developer Johnathan responded to a query on Assassin's Creed Mirage protagonist Basim's potential relevance in Shadows. Spoiler alert: as revealed in Assassin's Creed Valhalla, Basim is also the reincarnation of Norse god of trickery Loki, which in turn makes him a central figure in both the modern and historical Assassin's Creed timelines. His prominence over the last two mainline games begs the question: will we see more of Basim/Loki in Shadows?
