Assassin’s Creed Shadows has unveiled its exciting year 1 post-launch roadmap, promising a wealth of new content and engaging story drops for players. Released over a month ago, the game continues to evolve with Ubisoft's commitment to delivering fresh experiences. On May 1, Ubisoft took to Twitter (X) to share their plans for the future, ensuring that the journey in AC Shadows remains thrilling and immersive.

Year 1 Post-Launch Roadmap

The highlight of the roadmap is the introduction of multiple Story Drops, which are free content updates designed to enrich the game's narrative and gameplay. Ubisoft stated, "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." These additions promise to keep the game fresh and engaging, offering players more to explore and enjoy without additional cost.

This expansion will take players to the new region of Awaji Island, accessible after the base game's epilogue. Fans 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 is included free with pre-orders of AC Shadows, but will also be available for purchase separately.
