Two parkour athletes are concerned for the protagonist's knees

Yasuke Commits "Hate Crime To Parkour" In Assassin's Creed Shadows, Say Experts

Basically, the duo explained that parkour should never include utilizing your knees to climb up somewhere. The same is true for your elbows, since those actions are terrible for your joints. Intriguingly, the franchise's iconic leap of faith is actually realistic--from certain distances. They argue jumping off from shorter distances, say no more than seven stories, could be possible with a good amount of hay. But when Assassin's Creed heroes dive off from 30-plus stories, that's a no-go.

Just days away from release, Game Pass Ultimate members will be able to stream Assassin's Creed Shadows if they buy the game. Meanwhile, Ubisoft has confirmed the action-adventure title will work on Steam Deck, and PS5 Pro owners will get an extra-fancy ray tracing mode.
