AC Shadows Post-Release Plans Are WAY Bigger Than Expected!

Ubisoft have just released a 2025 roadmap of all the upcoming content that will be releasing in Assassin’s Creed Shadows with a lot of changes coming to the game that I’m going to break down for you in a no-nonsense fashion, so you can decide if it’s worth booting the game back up and logging in either now or in the future…

═══════════ Official Info ══════════

CLAWS OF AWAJI
Claws of Awaji is coming later this year. Free to all players who pre-ordered. Expansion opens a brand-new region for you to explore which continues Naoe and Yasuke’s story right after the end of Shadows’ epilogue. You can expect new enemies, new abilities for both characters, and a new weapon specific to Naoe - the Bo staff.

NEW STORY DROPS
Our first story drop will be part of the Early May update and is called “The Works of Luis Frois”: it will give you a deeper look at the titular historical Jesuit scholar who’s work about the Sengoku period of Japan endures to this day.

PARKOUR UPDATES
In this first update, we’ll be adding the often-requested height-gaining back-ejects, fully re-animated height-gaining side- ejects, and a brand-new parkour move called the Vertical Ledge Jump, allowing both characters to jump and grab onto awnings and lower overhangs.

PHOTO MODE UPDATE
Alongside Parkour, we’re expanding the Photo Mode with new filters and stickers, new character poses and facial expressions, and even adding ambient music for you to enjoy. All targeted at giving you more options and comfort when it comes to capturing the beauty of Feudal Japan.

COMMUNITY FEEDBACK UPDATES

Community feedback has been a core focus of the team throughout development and that’s not stopping now. On April 8, we have deployed our first major patch, which has fixed a number of bugs and brought numerous quality-of-life improvements, such as Horse-auto follow, urban speed improvements, single mastery nodes reset, and multi-item selection at merchants and forge.
