The excitement for *Assassin’s Creed Shadows* continues to grow as Ubisoft unveils its ambitious Year 1 post-launch update roadmap. With the game having been released over a month ago, the developer is committed to enhancing the player experience with a series of free updates and new content. Announced on Twitter (X) on May 1, the roadmap promises a thrilling year ahead for fans of the franchise.
Year 1 Post-Launch Roadmap
*Assassin’s Creed Shadows* (AC Shadows) is set to receive multiple free Story Drops, which will add a wealth of new content to the game. Ubisoft describes these updates as, "These new free quests will introduce new player abilities, new allies, new world activities, and provide deeper looks and backstories for some of your favorite characters, each new piece of content expanding on the main game." This ensures that players will have plenty of new adventures and deeper narrative engagement in the world of AC Shadows.
In addition to the free updates, fans should mark their calendars for the upcoming DLC expansion, *The Claws of Awaji*. Scheduled to launch later this year, this expansion will take players to the new region of Awaji Island, accessible after the epilogue of the base game. Players can look forward to encountering new enemies, acquiring new abilities for both protagonists, and wielding an exclusive new weapon for Naoe.
*The Claws of Awaji* DLC comes at no additional cost for those who pre-ordered *AC Shadows*, while others can purchase it separately. For more detailed information on the upcoming DLCs and the roadmap for *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*, be sure to check out our comprehensive article below!
