Assassin’s Creed Shadows: A Closer Look at the Release
Mackenyu Arata as Gennojo
Known for his portrayal of Roronoa Zoro in the One Piece live-action series, Mackenyu will voice Gennojo in both Japanese and English. This key character in Assassin's Creed Shadows, set in feudal Japan, will play a significant role in assisting the protagonist.
Ubisoft describes Gennojo as a captivating, impulsive, and internally conflicted individual, driven by guilt to reform a corrupt system. A charming rogue with a flair for deception and wit, he's willing to risk everything to achieve justice, particularly for the vulnerable.
While the exact timing of Gennojo's appearance remains undisclosed, his importance to the game's narrative is confirmed. According to Mackenyu, Gennojo belongs to the "Shinobi League" and can be recruited as a companion, assisting the player throughout their journey.
