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 continued to evolve, with Ubisoft announcing its year 1 post-launch roadmap on Twitter (X) on May 1. This roadmap promises an array of new story and gameplay content to enrich the player experience.

A highlight of the roadmap is the introduction of new Story Drops—free content additions that will enhance the game's narrative and gameplay. Ubisoft has detailed that these quests will unlock new player abilities, introduce new allies, and expand world activities. Moreover, these drops will delve deeper into the backstories of beloved characters, adding layers to the main storyline.

In addition to the free content, fans are eagerly anticipating the first expansion, The Claws of Awaji, set to launch later this year. This DLC will transport players to the island of Awaji, a fresh region to explore post-epilogue of the base game. Expect to encounter new enemies, acquire new abilities for both protagonists, and wield an exclusive new weapon for Naoe.

The Claws of Awaji DLC is complimentary for those who pre-ordered AC Shadows, but will also be available for purchase by other players. For a comprehensive look at AC Shadows’ DLCs and roadmap, be sure to check out our detailed article below!
