Assassin's Creed Shadows: Year of Free Content and Story Updates Revealed

The excitement surrounding Assassin’s Creed Shadows continues to grow as Ubisoft unveils its year 1 post-launch update roadmap. This roadmap promises a wealth of new content, including free story drops and an eagerly anticipated DLC expansion. Let's dive into what players can expect in the coming months.

Year 1 Post-Launch Roadmap

Assassin’s Creed Shadows (AC Shadows) has been captivating players for over a month now, and Ubisoft is committed to enhancing the gaming experience with a series of updates. On May 1, Ubisoft shared their year 1 post-launch roadmap on Twitter (X), detailing the exciting new story and gameplay content on the horizon.

One of the highlights of the roadmap is the introduction of new Story Drops. These are multiple free content additions that will enrich the game's narrative and gameplay. 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." This means players can look forward to a more immersive and expansive world within AC Shadows.

In addition to the free content, Ubisoft is also gearing up for the release of their first expansion, The Claws of Awaji, slated for later this year. This DLC will transport players to the island of Awaji, a brand-new region to explore post-epilogue of the base game. Players can expect to encounter new enemies, unlock new abilities for both protagonists, and wield an exclusive new weapon for Naoe.

The Claws of Awaji DLC expansion is included free for those who pre-ordered AC Shadows, but it will also be available for purchase for other players. For more detailed information on AC Shadows’ DLCs and the full roadmap, be sure to check out our comprehensive article below!
