Unlike previous Assassin's Creed games, Shadows will not have a Season Pass which means that these content updates will be free, with the Claws of Awaji expansion (covered further below) and new store items being the only exceptions🌌. These free updates will also be packed with new activities and features, as well a🀅s improvements to existing aspects of the game.

and whe🌞n they’ll release for the Assassin’s Creed Shadows roadmaܫp:

Early May

  • First Story Drop, “The Works of Luis Frois”: A free update focused on learning more about the Jesuit scholar Luis Frois, who appears at various points in the main story, notably right at the beginning when Yasuke (then Diogo) is acting as a bodyguard.
  • Codex update
  • Quality-of-life improvements

Late May

  • First Special Collaboration: Who this collaboration is with has not yet been announced.
  • Parkour update: New height-gaining back-ejects, newly animated height-gaining side-ejects and an entirely new vertical ledge jump move. The latter is a simple vertical jump that lets bother characts grab overhangs and awnings.
  • Photo Mode update: New filters, stickers, character poses, facial expressions, and even ambient music.

The first Assassin's Creed Shadows expansion, Claws of Awaji, sees Naoe and Yasukeไ trapped on ﷽a mysterious island, the real-life Awaji Island west of Osaka. It will release "later in 🔥2025" and is free to all players that pre-ordered Assassin’s Creed Shadows, but there is still no way to buy it separately for when it launches.

Naoe and Yasuke must reclaim a lost treasure while avoiding traps and ambushes from deadly new foes, the crafty Sanzoku Ippa. The expansion also introduces the Bō weapon type for Naoe – a staff for poking and beating opponents – and will feature new gear to loot and abilities to unlock. Ubisoft says it will provide "over 10 hours of additional content" and takes place after the ending of the main game.
