Assassin’s Creed Shadows Post-Launch Updates

Year 1 Post-Launch Roadmap

With Assassin’s Creed Shadows (AC Shadows) having been released for over a month, Ubisoft is committed to enhancing the gaming experience with their planned updates. On May 1, Ubisoft shared their year 1 post-launch roadmap on Twitter (X), which includes exciting new story and gameplay content.

A key highlight of the roadmap is the introduction of new Story Drops. These are free content additions that will enrich the game with new quests. According to Ubisoft, "These new free quests will introduce new player abilities, new allies, new world activities, and provide deeper looks and backstories for some of your favorite characters, each new piece of content expanding on the main game."

In addition to these free updates, Ubisoft is gearing up to release their first expansion titled The Claws of Awaji later this year. This expansion will take players to the island of Awaji, a new region to explore post-epilogue. Expect to encounter new enemies, unlock new abilities for both protagonists, and wield an exclusive new weapon for Naoe.

The Claws of Awaji comes as a complimentary addition for players who pre-ordered AC Shadows, but it will also be available for purchase to others. For more detailed insights into AC Shadows’ DLCs and the full roadmap, be sure to check out our comprehensive article below!
