The first volume of Assassin's Creed Shadows: Tales of Iga is now available in English, offering players a deeper look into the game's lore through a 192-page prequel manga published by VIZ Media.
Ubisoft is expanding the universe of its historical action RPG through new media formats that fit naturally into how modern players consume entertainment. The first volume of Assassin's Creed Shadows: Tales of Iga is now officially available in English, giving players a deeper look into the lore surrounding the game's central shinobi setting. Originally announced ahead of the game's launch, the prequel manga was created by artist Regujie and serialized on digital platforms in Japan before securing its international release.
Published by VIZ Media, the 192-page first volume is currently available in both paperback and digital formats, with promotional pricing currently active on digital storefronts. For players who treat gaming as a transmedia experience spanning console sessions, streaming lore videos, and secondary reading material, the project offers valuable context on the Iga village at the heart of the narrative. Fans looking to complete the story can also anticipate the release of Volume 2 later this year.
Transmedia rollouts have become a standard playbook for major franchise launches, helping to maintain community momentum between major content drops. By timing the English release to follow the game's reception, Ubisoft is catering to a player base that expects deep worldbuilding across multiple touchpoints.
