AC SHADOWS TITLE UPDATE 1.0.7 - RELEASE NOTES

[p]Thank you to everyone who has taken the time to report these issues to us via the Bug Reporter. As always, you can contact our Support Team if you run into any trouble. [/p][p]Have a look at tomorrow's upcoming changes and be sure to check out the Summer Roadmap for more information on what's coming next for Assassin's Creed Shadows! [/p][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][h2]PATCH SIZES: [/h2][p]PS5: 8.92 GB [/p][p]XBS: 19 GB [/p][p]MAC: 9 GB [/p][p]PC: 16 GB [/p][p]Steam: 9 GB [/p][p][/p][h2]PATCH HIGHLIGHTS [/h2][h3]NEW GAME+ [/h3][p]New Game+ is coming to Assassin's Creed Shadows![/p][p]Upon completing the main story on any difficulty, start a new game while keeping all collected skills, gear, Allies and hideout progression from your first playthrough. You can start a New Game+ playthrough from the Memory Menu in the Animus after finishing all journeys of Naoe, Yasuke and Junjiro. [/p][p]Upon completing a New Game+ playthrough you'll be awarded Whisper of Gold, and Dragon's Gold! Brand new gold plated Legendary Long Katana and Legendary Katana with their own unique perk engravings. [/p][p]Take your journey through Feudal Japan to the next level as many times as you want... or at least up to 8 times with New Game+! With each new venture into New Game+, face stronger foes, more demanding challenges, and tests of your Shinobi and Samurai skills. [/p][p]
[/p][h3]KNOWLEDGE RANK & LEVEL CAP INCREASE [/h3][p]Prepare to push beyond your limits! We've raised the level cap from 60 to 80, meaning tougher foes with enhanced tactics and awareness - demanding sharper reflexes and smarter strategies. [/p][p]To meet this rising threat, we've also expanded the Knowledge Rank system to 9 & 10 allowing players to unlock and develop a broader array of skills, passives, and combat techniques to become even more masterful. [/p][p]New Game+ awaits! But before taking on the task of a new journey, you can upgrade the passives and skills of Naoe and Yasuke! Players will gain 1 new rank for multiple nodes in their Mastery Skills, and 10 new ranks for all existing Knowledge passives to become even more formidable. [/p][p]A test of your skills is no match without the right gear! The Forge can now be upgraded to level 4, allowing players to upgrade all weapons and gear to level 80 to have the edge on the rising threats that await. [/p][p]With new levels and ranks, come three new achievements and trophies waiting to be unlocked: [/p]
  • [p]Enjoy the Ride: Reach Level 80 [/p]
  • [p]Stars Unseen: Reach Knowledge Rank 10 [/p]
  • [p]Worth its Wait: Obtain the Gold Katana and Gold Long Katana (by completing the story on New Game+). [/p]
[p][/p][h3]ANIMUS RIFT[/h3][p]Respond to The Guide's call and journey into a deeper layer of the Animus where a new mystery awaits. [/p][p]Rifts are a deeper layer of simulation within the Animus - mysterious and fractured spaces where the Animus interprets genetic information in unusual ways. While some Rifts are solely used for communication across space and time, others may carry challenges and secrets that have long remained hidden - until now.  [/p][p]The new quest, Chained will be present on the Animus Board after players have unlocked Yasuke in the Open World, and completed From Spark to Flame to access the Animus System.[/p][p][/p][h3]NEW ANIMUS HUB PROJECT - MNEMOSYNE[/h3][p]We are releasing a new Project available in the Animus HUB called Mnemosyne. Just like in our other Projects, complete Anomalies and gather data fragments to progress and claim Animus-themed gear, weapons and much more! [/p][p]The items claimed through the Animus HUB will be transferred to the players' Inventory. [/p][p]To access these features, players need to have progressed enough to unlock Yasuke in the Open World and completed From Spark to Flame to access the Animus System.[/p][p][/p][h2]ADDITIONAL HIGHLIGHTS [/h2]

Summer Roadmap Update

Hey Assassins!

We just launched our summer update for Assassin’s Creed Shadows! Here’s the juicy bits you need to know coming to Assassin’s Creed Shadows in the next months.



First, thank you for your amazing reactions to our latest title updates. We’re happy that you liked our special collaborations with Dead by Daylight and the addition of Critical Role’s Rufino as an ally for your hideout, as well as the Parkour Updates, Photo-mode improvements, and of course, our brand-new Nightmare difficulty setting!

And speaking of Photomode, congrats to the winners of our recent photo contest from our official Discord server! Check out the winning entries at the end of this article and the full winners’ gallery here.

This summer, it’s all about progression. Remember these words: New. Game. Plus.

[h2]NEW GAME+[/h2]
Coming July 29, New Game+ will be available as soon as you complete the final story mission and credits have rolled: opting in will reset your Story and objective board progression as well as discovered locations – but your character level, your acquired gear, skill points, Knowledge rank and your precious Hideout progression will remain untouched.

When launching New Game+, you can choose to start again from the very beginning, reliving the important events of the Tensho War in Iga – or you can fast-forward after the prologue to the moment Naoe inherits ownership of the Hideout. Either way, we made sure that none of the basic tutorials will bother you on your second playthrough.

[h2]PROGRESSION UPDATE[/h2]
We’re increasing the level cap from 60 to 80 for all players – whether you’re playing in NG+ or not – and introducing brand new Knowledge Ranks, new Mastery and Knowledge Skill ranks, and new upgrades for all Hideout buildings – including new upgrades for Heiji’s Forge. One upgrade coming with New Game+ and one coming with our later Summer update.

July 29 is also when you can expect Project 3 to appear: there will be new resources, data files, and exclusive Animus-themed rewards for you to collect. Remember, if you're still working on the first two projects, you can either finish them up or swap to the new Project. There's no time pressure.

[h2]QUALITY-OF-LIFE IMPROVEMENT UPDATE[/h2]
We’re also thrilled to share an additional update is on the way, packed with some of the most requested features from our community requests since launch. This update will come before the Claws of Awaji expansion and, of course, be free for all players with just a download.

This update will include:
  • The world map unfogging after completing viewpoint synchronization (per region).
  • The ability to skip time-of-day, jumping ahead to dusk or dawn.
  • A new Forge upgrade level to reach Mythic (from Epic) and Artifact (from Legendary) equipment rarities.
  • Hideout updates and upgrades.
  • Uncapped framerate for cutscenes (PC only).
  • Additional goodies that may be familiar to long-time series fans.
  • Further bug fixes and stability improvements.
We’ll share more details of this update in the coming weeks but know we’re always looking out for your feedback – with the team working hard to deliver on the requests and suggestions to share!

[h2]CLAWS OF AWAJI[/h2]
And it is also time for us to announce the release date for Claws of Awaji. Mark your calendars: Claws of Awaji will drop on September 16! If you pre-ordered Assassin’s Creed Shadows, you’ll be able to play it for free!

Keep in mind, Claws of Awaji unlocks only after completing the main story of the game, so make sure you are ready!

More details on the expansion to come soon.

Join us on Reddit on August 12 for our next AMA (Ask Me Anything) with members of the Assassin's Creed Shadows Development Team. It will be the perfect place to ask your questions and learn more about what's in the works! Stay tuned as we reveal more about this!

Assassin's Creed Shadows привлекла 5 миллионов игроков

Аудитория Assassin's Creed Shadows достигла пяти миллионов человек. Об этом сообщила компания Ubisoft в соцсетях. С релиза экшен-RPG прошло четыре месяца, из подписок игра доступна только в Ubisoft+ Premium.

Глава Ubisoft Ив Гиймо: Игроки стали очень привередливыми, индустрию штормит — даже качественный проект может провалиться

Глава Ubisoft Ив Гиймо считает, что индустрия вошла в турбулентный период. Сейчас разработчики сталкиваются с новыми рисками, которых раньше просто не существовало — или они были столь незначительными, что о них даже можно было не думать.
