Assassin’s Creed Shadows director says the dreaded yellow paint was only added because “players were really struggling in playtests”

Assassin’s Creed Shadows suffers from the dreaded yellow paint disease, but its devs say there’s a very good reason for that.

If you’ve been extremely online within the gaming community over the last few years, you’ve no doubt been forced to see the endless debates whenever a game reveals it has yellow paint. For those blissfully unaware (I envy you so much), a lot of AAA releases use random splashes of yellow paint to help players know where the critical path is, as opposed to something like God of War: Ragnarok, where NPCs can’t stop telling you every two seconds.
