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

The excitement surrounding Assassin’s Creed Shadows continues to build as Ubisoft has unveiled its year 1 post-launch update roadmap, packed with exciting new content for fans. With the game already captivating players for over a month, the roadmap promises an engaging year ahead with free updates and an upcoming expansion.

Year 1 Post-Launch Roadmap

Ubisoft took to Twitter (X) on May 1 to share the detailed year 1 roadmap for Assassin’s Creed Shadows (AC Shadows). A key highlight is the introduction of Story Drops, which will bring multiple free content updates to enrich the game experience. According to Ubisoft, "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 commitment to free updates ensures that players have plenty of fresh content to explore without additional cost.

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 take players to the unexplored island of Awaji, offering a brand-new region to discover post the base game's epilogue. Fans can look forward to encountering new enemies, unlocking new abilities for both protagonists, and wielding an exclusive new weapon for Naoe.

The Claws of Awaji DLC comes free for players who pre-ordered AC Shadows, ensuring they get immediate access to this exciting new content. For others, the expansion will be available for purchase.
