‘Assassin’s Creed Shadows’ Emerges From the Mist on GeForce NOW

Time to sharpen the blade. GeForce NOW brings a legendary addition to the cloud: Ubisoft’s highly anticipated Assassin’s Creed Shadows is now available for members to stream.

Plus, dive into the updated version of the iconic Fable Anniversary — part of 11 games joining the cloud this week.

Silent as a Shadow

Explore 16th-century Japan, uncover conspiracies and shape the destiny of a nation — all from the cloud.

Assassin’s Creed Shadows unfolds in 1579, during the turbulent Azuchi-Momoyama period of feudal Japan, a time of civil war and cultural exchange.

Step into the roles of Naoe, a fictional shinobi assassin and daughter of Fujibayashi Nagato, and Yasuke, a character based on the historical African samurai. Their stories intertwine as they find themselves on opposite sides of a conflict.

The game’s dynamic stealth system enables players to hide in shadows and use a new “Observe” mechanic to identify targets, tag enemies and highlight objectives. Yasuke and Naoe each have unique abilities and playstyles: Naoe excels in stealth, equipped with classic Assassin techniques and shinobi skills, while Yasuke offers a more combat-focused approach.

Navigate the turbulent Sengoku period on GeForce NOW, and experience the game’s breathtaking landscapes and intense combat at up to 4K resolution and 120 frames per second with an Ultimate membership. Every sword clash and sweeping vista is delivered with exceptional smoothness and clarity.

A Classic Reborn

Fable Anniversary revitalizes the original Fable: The Lost Chapters with enhanced graphics, a new save system and Xbox achievements. This action role-playing game invites players to shape their heroes’ destinies in the whimsical world of Albion.

Fable Anniversary weaves an epic tale of destiny and choice, following the journey of a young boy whose life is forever changed when bandits raid his peaceful village of Oakvale. Recruited to the Heroes’ Guild, he embarks on a quest to uncover the truth about his family and confront the mysterious Jack of Blades.

Players shape their hero’s destiny through a series of moral choices. These decisions influence the story’s progression and even manifest physically on the character.

Stream the title with a GeForce NOW membership across PCs that may not be game-ready, Macs, mobile devices, and Samsung and LG smart TVs. GeForce NOW transforms these devices into powerful gaming rigs, with up to eight-hour gaming sessions for Ultimate members.

Unleash the Games

Wreckfest 2, the highly anticipated sequel by Bugbear Entertainment to the original demolition derby racing game, promises an even more intense and chaotic experience. The game features a range of customizable cars, from muscle cars to novelty vehicles, each with a story to tell.

Play around with multiple modes, including traditional racing with physics-driven handling, and explore demolition derby arenas where the goal is to cause maximum destruction. With enhanced multiplayer features, including skills-based matchmaking and split-screen mode, Wreckfest 2 is the ultimate playground for destruction-racing enthusiasts.
