Remember Shao Jun, the hero from Assassin's Creed Chronicles: China? Well, her story's getting its very own manga adaptation, Ubisoft has announced. Published by manga giant VIZ, Assassin's Creed: Blade of Shao Jun will be available both at retail and online from the 16th February. It'll feature an "extended" version of Shao Jun's tale.
Here's the official cover art for the release:
The manga's actually been running in Japan since November 2019, but it's nice to hear that the localisation is finally happening. Artist Minoji Kurata is a big fan of the series, stating that she's played "almost every game" in an interview with Access the Animus last year. Kurata's favourite assassin is apparently Edward Kenway, which we think is a pretty solid choice.
Anyway, are you interested in this Assassin's Creed adaptation? Keep your blade sheathed in the comments section below.

I tried playing the China game but it was kinda the opposite of fun. Shao Jun was pretty cool though, plus I’d like to see her foot blade thing in a proper 3D game.
MAKE. HER. STORY. INTO. A. PROPER. GAME
Kinda weird how all the female assassins were getting SMALL spin-offs up until Evie. While chronicles lacked a lot being a side scroller it could've been a great true 3d game.
This should have been a proper AC game. Loved the character design and the story plus she had a direct link to Ezio.
Assassin's creed waifu
@pharos_haven Evie still my favorite damn i feel so crappy i never bought her statue. Not some boring wallflower just a cool character she was way cooler then her brother.
@OrigamiCrane @Chaotic_Goat @pharos_haven @Jacko11 @nessisonett Maybe we'll get an anime adaptation of the manga?
Better than nothing, gotta take what you can.
@KidBoruto i’d absolutely accept an anime at least
@Jacko11 We definitely could use more Assassin's Creed animation, it's been awhile since the last one.
