Assassin’s Creed Shadows Post-Launch Updates

Year 1 Post-Launch Roadmap

Assassin’s Creed Shadows (AC Shadows) has captivated players since its release over a month ago, and Ubisoft is committed to enhancing the gaming experience with a series of engaging updates. Announced via Twitter (X) on May 1, the year 1 post-launch roadmap outlines a variety of new story and gameplay content.

One of the highlights is the introduction of new Story Drops, which are free content updates. These additions will enrich the game with new quests, player abilities, allies, world activities, and deeper backstories for beloved characters. Each Story Drop will expand upon the main game, offering players fresh narratives and gameplay elements.

In addition to the free content, Ubisoft is gearing up for the release of their first expansion, "The Claws of Awaji," set to launch later this year. This expansion will introduce players to the unexplored island of Awaji, a new region that becomes accessible after the base game's epilogue. Players can look forward to encountering new enemies, mastering new abilities for both protagonists, and wielding an exclusive new weapon for Naoe.

"The Claws of Awaji" DLC expansion is available for free to those who pre-ordered AC Shadows, while others can purchase it separately. For more detailed information on AC Shadows' DLCs and the full roadmap, be sure to check out our comprehensive article below!
