Assassin’s Creed Shadows has made a month since it released, and guess what? Ubisoft is nowhere near done with it. The devs then hatched a roadmap unveiling all the upcoming new content-new missions, updates, Codex additions, collabs, and even some tweaks that made fans fan out.
First, missions that go beyond the current worlds and open up more story and the best excuse yet to go around slaughtering and sneaking. Nothing concrete yet, but judging from how things have panned out for previous Assassin’s Creed DLCs, there will probably be wild twists-but maybe some historical cameos too.
And course, updates. Ubisoft almost listened to the voices of the players, incredible as it may sound, making some changes that would most probably affect the quality of life and launch fixes regarding bugs, and, perhaps, changes for balance to smoothen the gameplay. Entries for the Codex-that in-game encyclopedia of lore-are going to get additions, especially for those “nerdy” people who want to get excited by each and every one of the little details.
Oh, and wait. There is more collabs going to happen, though Ubisoft isn’t clear as to what this means. Might be guerilla events with other games and some real-world tie-ins or really sick, new cosmetic gear in-game. Either way, it’s going to be fun.
For those fans who’ve been hollering for some Seek magic? Yup, they will be pampered as well. Not much has been revealed about the exact tweaks, but if you have been whining about something in the game, the chances are that it will most likely be addressed.
Well, if you’re interested in the exact timeline for all this new content, the entire roadmap is on the website of Ubisoft. This much is certain: Assassin’s Creed Shadows has not just been installed; it will keep adding to whatever is there. Clearly, Ubisoft is here for the long haul, which is good news for those who were initially hooked on the game.
So yes, if you have been under a rock, there’s a damn good reason to get in on Shadows. The new tidal wave of fresh content is going to make it even more opportune time than ever to dive into feudal Japan and stab some fools. Or stealthily assassinate them. Whatever floats your boat.
Bottom line? Shadows is changing; it’s only going to get bigger and better from here. Watch out for those updates-they’re coming sooner than you think.
