Mackenyu Arata as Gennojo: A Key Player in Assassin’s Creed Shadows
Mackenyu, recognized for his portrayal of Roronoa Zoro in the One Piece live-action series, will voice Gennojo in both Japanese and English. This significant character in Ubisoft's feudal Japan-based Assassin's Creed Shadows will aid the protagonist in eliminating a critical target.
Ubisoft describes Gennojo as a captivating, impulsive, and internally conflicted individual, driven by guilt to reform a corrupt system. He's a charming rogue, a master of deception, and a charismatic trickster, blending wit, cunning, and confidence. His deep-seated desire for justice, particularly in protecting the vulnerable, fuels his willingness to risk everything to achieve his goals.
While the precise point of Gennojo's introduction remains undisclosed, his importance to the game's missions is confirmed. According to Mackenyu, Gennojo belongs to the "Shinobi League," and players can essentially recruit him as a companion throughout their adventure.
