Year 1 Post-Launch Roadmap

Since its release over a month ago, Assassin’s Creed Shadows (AC Shadows) has captured the hearts of gamers worldwide. Developer Ubisoft is committed to enhancing the gaming experience with a robust lineup of updates. On May 1, Ubisoft took to Twitter (X) to announce their year 1 post-launch roadmap, which includes new story and gameplay content.

One of the highlights of the roadmap is the introduction of new Story Drops—free content additions that will enrich the AC Shadows universe. Ubisoft promises that these new quests will not only introduce fresh player abilities and new allies but also bring new world activities. Each Story Drop aims to deepen the lore and provide backstories for beloved characters, expanding the narrative beyond the main game.

In addition to the Story Drops, Ubisoft is gearing up for the release of their first expansion, The Claws of Awaji, slated for later this year. This DLC will transport players to the unexplored island of Awaji, a new region set after the main game's epilogue. Players can look forward to encountering new enemies, unlocking unique abilities for both protagonists, and wielding an exclusive new weapon for Naoe.

The Claws of Awaji comes at no extra cost for those who pre-ordered AC Shadows, but it will also be available for purchase for other players. For a deeper dive into the upcoming DLCs and the comprehensive roadmap, be sure to check out our detailed article below!
