Ubisoft just dropped major news for fans of the Assassin’s Creed series! The highly anticipated Assassin’s Creed: Shadows is set to receive its first DLC, titled Claws of Awaji, with a launch date of September 16. Players who got in early and pre-ordered the game will enjoy this expansion absolutely free.
Get ready for a brand new region, challenging bosses, and fresh gear to discover, with gameplay lasting over 10 hours. What’s still a mystery is when exactly this new chapter will be available during your playthrough.
New Game Plus and Upcoming Features
But that’s not all! Mark your calendars for July 29, as the eagerly awaited New Game Plus mode will roll out. This mode will introduce an increased level cap, new knowledge ranks, and additional forge levels along with fresh achievements and trophies.
In early September, players can expect another update allowing them to manipulate the time of day, clear the fog on the world map, and enjoy an uncapped framerate during cutscenes on PC.
Future Prospects
Ubisoft has plans to expand the reach of Assassin’s Creed: Shadows further, hinting at additional versions for “other machines.” Although nothing is confirmed for the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2, Ubisoft has already committed to bringing the new Star Wars Outlaws to the console, indicating an openness to evolving their gaming portfolio.
