Assassin's Creed Shadows: Post-Launch Roadmap Revealed!

Ubisoft has unveiled its roadmap for the first year of post-launch content for *Assassin's Creed Shadows*, promising a steady stream of free updates and a major DLC expansion. These additions will include fan-requested features like New Game+, more difficulty options, and compelling story content. The company outlined its plans for 2025 in a recent video, offering a glimpse into how they intend to keep players engaged.

The roadmap details updates planned for May and June, demonstrating the development team's commitment to providing ongoing support. The initial drops include "The Works of Luis Frois," the first of several free story add-ons, expected in early May. This will be accompanied by a Codex update and various quality-of-life improvements, including parkour enhancements and a photo mode update next month. These changes reflect Ubisoft's dedication to listening to the *Assassin's Creed Shadows* community and incorporating their feedback into future updates. Community developer Daniel St. Germain emphasized this in the video, stating that player feedback is a core . Regular title updates will bring impactful additions and changes based on player requests, along with bug fixes to improve the overall experience across all platforms.

Upcoming Free Updates The next free story drop is slated for June, alongside more challenging difficulty settings and gameplay immersion options. Players can also look forward to an open-world alarm system and the option to toggle headgear on or off during cutscenes. These are welcome changes that players have eagerly anticipated.

Claws of Awaji DLC Expansion The most substantial addition to the post-launch content is the first major DLC expansion, "Claws of Awaji," scheduled for release later in the year. This expansion promises approximately 10 hours of new content, including a new weapon – the Bo staff – and a new region for Naoe and Yasuke to explore.

Pricing details for "Claws of Awaji" have not yet been revealed. However, players who pre-ordered *Assassin’s Creed Shadows* before its launch last month will receive the DLC for free. *Assassin's Creed Shadows*, released on March 20 for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X and S, marks the series' long-awaited arrival in Feudal Japan.
