The team behind Ubisoft’s Assassin’s Creed Shadows recently provided an overview of this title’s parkour mechanics.
Associate Game Director Simon Lemay-Comtois said the following about Assassin’s Creed Shadows controls:
“In Shadows, dodge has been merged with parkour down mechanics, which unlocks a whole bunch of new parkour moves.
This new mapping also disconnects stance-switch (e.g. standing, crouching, prone) from parkour, ensuring you can use any stances without accidentally going down a rooftop when you don’t want to.”
Associate Game Director Simon Lemay-Comtois said the following about Assassin’s Creed Shadows parkour button system:
“In our game, holding down the parkour up button like it’s a gas pedal is not the optimal way to do parkour. Discerning which button does what is necessary to maximize a great parkour flow and keep your momentum.”
