Assassin’s Creed Shadows has unveiled an exciting year 1 post-launch roadmap, promising a wealth of free content and new story developments for players to dive into. The game, which has been available for over a month, continues to evolve with Ubisoft's commitment to enriching the player experience through regular updates.

Year 1 Post-Launch Roadmap

Ubisoft shared their ambitious plans for Assassin’s Creed Shadows (AC Shadows) via a Twitter (X) post on May 1, detailing the year 1 post-launch roadmap. A key highlight of this roadmap is the introduction of Story Drops, which are free content updates set to enhance the game’s narrative and gameplay. These updates will bring new player abilities, allies, world activities, and provide deeper insights into the backstories of beloved characters, thereby expanding the main game's universe.

In addition to the free Story Drops, fans should mark their calendars for the upcoming DLC, "The Claws of Awaji," slated for release later this year. This expansion will take players to the unexplored island of Awaji, offering a fresh region to explore post-epilogue. Players can look forward to encountering new enemies, mastering new abilities for both protagonists, and wielding an exclusive new weapon for Naoe.
