It’s been just over seven months since Assassin’s Creed Shadows first launched and about one month since its first major expansion, Claws of Awaji, first debuted, but Ubisoft is continuing to refine and update Shadows for its millions of players.
On October 23rd, Shadows‘ Associate Game Director, Simon Lemay-Comtois, announced that Ubisoft is far from improving the player experience in Shadows and that the game will be receiving multiple free major updates this fall season.
The first update will drop just a few days from now on Tuesday, October 28th, while the second update will debut on Tuesday, November 25th, exactly a week after Assassin’s Creed Mirage is slated to receive its free Valley of Memory DLC.
On top of these free updates, Lemay-Comtois and other members of Ubisoft Quebec announced that Shadows will finally make its way to the Nintendo Switch 2 on Tuesday, December 2nd with cross-progression and all prior content drops and updates, save for the Claws of Awaji DLC which will launch on the mobile console later in 2026.
Assassin’s Creed Shadows’ Title Updates 10 and 11 Explained
Shadows‘ Title Update 10 will address player feedback in terms of the title’s gameplay and bring back several long-requested features.
These features include:
- An Advanced Parkour toggle option in Shadows‘ Gameplay settings which will enable side and back eject parkour options from any height.
- An extension to the vertical ledge grab in parkour to allow it to work in most situations, even on non-standing objects like beams and lanterns.
- A manual jump option from non-standing objects
- A directional catch-ledge mechanic, allowing Naoe to catch ledges at the last minute when falling, similar to how Ezio Auditore was able to do so in Assassin’s Creed 2.
Title Update 10 will additionally introduce a new Animus-themed activity called Corrupted Castles which will cause up to five previously completed castles to become filled with deadly Animus anomaly enemies and new reward chests each season.
Shadows’ Title Update 11 will release the game’s third story drop in the form of a quest called “A Puzzlement” which will feature enemies from Naoe’s past striving to redeem themselves and join the Kakushiba Ikki.
Along the way, Naoe will learn a variation of Yasuke’s war kick ability while the samurai will learn how to stealthily take down enemies in a non-lethal way, culminating in the duo battling it out in a friendly duel.
Title Update will additionally introduce a new environmental puzzle that appears to have some connection to the Isu, as well as a new special collaboration with another IP that will be revealed at a later date following the game’s collab with Dead by Daylight in May earlier this year.
