Shadow Merge will also be upgradeable, so these features are just the basics.Įreban: Shadow Legacy is launching in 2023 on Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and PC via Steam, and it will also be coming to Xbox, and PC Games Pass on day one. Regarding platforming, Shadow Merge allows you to scale tall structures to reach inaccessible locations, crawl under fences by diving through shadows, or even break your fall if you land in darkness. Your combat options include stealthy movement around your enemies, avoiding detection, or setting up ambushes to perform quiet takedowns on Helios’ forces, giving you the choice of a lethal or non-lethal approach. However, Shadow Merge is incredibly versatile, and you’ll need to make clever use of the ability to explore the environment, solve puzzles, and fight your foes.

Game Director Alejandro Márquez also revealed that Shadow Merge was heavily inspired by Splatoon’s transforming kids and squids that swim through ink. It seamlessly blends in with shadows, rendering them completely undetectable unless they wander into the light. Shadow Merge allows Ayana to assume a dark, cloudy form for a limited time whenever they’re in a shaded area.
