Naoe and Yasuke approach encounters differently, giving players a choice between stealth and a more direct fighting style. Ubisoft's store description also highlights an open world with changing weather and seasons.

The Steam listing identifies the game as single-player and includes Steam achievements. Its Ubisoft account notice says the account supports linking to Steam.

Make room on an SSD before installing

Steam's minimum requirements list 16GB of system memory and 115GB of available storage. Ubisoft specifies that the game must be installed on an SSD. Minimum requirements are a starting point rather than a guarantee of smooth performance at a particular resolution.
