Assassin's Creed Shadows: Free Content and Story Updates Planned for a Year

Assassin’s Creed Shadows has unveiled an exciting year 1 post-launch roadmap that promises a plethora of engaging content for its players. Released over a month ago, the game continues to evolve with Ubisoft's commitment to enhancing the gaming experience through regular updates. The roadmap was shared via Twitter (now known as X) on May 1, giving fans a clear view of what to expect in the coming months.

Year 1 Post-Launch Roadmap

One of the highlights of the roadmap is the introduction of new Story Drops, which are free content updates designed to enrich the Assassin’s Creed Shadows (AC Shadows) universe. Ubisoft describes these drops as new quests that not only introduce fresh player abilities and allies but also bring new world activities. Each Story Drop will delve deeper into the backstories of beloved characters, offering fans a more immersive and expansive narrative experience beyond the main game.

In addition to the free Story Drops, Ubisoft is gearing up for the release of their first expansion titled The Claws of Awaji. Scheduled to launch later this year, this DLC will transport players to the new region of Awaji Island, set to be explored post the base game’s epilogue. Players 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 expansion comes as a complimentary addition for those who pre-ordered AC Shadows, while others can purchase it separately.
