Assassin’s Creed Shadows Post-Launch Updates

Year 1 Post-Launch Roadmap

Since its release over a month ago, Assassin’s Creed Shadows (AC Shadows) has been captivating players, and Ubisoft is committed to enhancing the experience with a robust lineup of updates. On May 1, Ubisoft took to Twitter (X) to unveil their year 1 post-launch roadmap, packed with new story and gameplay content.

One of the highlights is the introduction of new Story Drops, which are free content additions designed to enrich the game. Ubisoft explains, "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 the Story Drops, fans should keep an eye out for the first expansion titled The Claws of Awaji, set to launch later this year. This DLC will transport players to the new region of Awaji Island, available post-epilogue of the base game. Expect to encounter new enemies, gain new abilities for both protagonists, and wield an exclusive new weapon for Naoe.

The Claws of Awaji DLC comes free with pre-orders of AC Shadows, but will also be available for purchase separately. For more detailed insights into AC Shadows’ DLCs and the roadmap, be sure to check out our comprehensive article below!
