Chasing Shadows 4. Warfare

Assassin's Creed Shadows gives players the chance to experience history as two icons of medieval Japan: samurai and shinobi (known today as ninja). In this special series, Matt Lewis and Professor Eric Rath from the University of Kansas take an in-depth look at how these legendary warriors lived and answer the question, what is the difference between samurai and shinobi?


This episode thrusts us into the thick of combat. How did samurai battle tactics compare to shinobi guerilla warfare?
