Summary

  • The first DLC for Assassin’s Creed Shadows, ‘Claws of Awaji,’ has reportedly leaked on Steam.
  • The expansion will feature a new region, weapon type, skills, gear, and more.
  • Shadows was recently delayed to March 20, 2025.

Information about an upcoming expansion for “Assassin’s Creed: Shadows,” known as “Claws of Awaji,” is said to have been revealed on Steam. In a departure from the usual settings, “Assassin’s Creed: Shadows” will be the first game in the action-adventure series set in feudal Japan.

Following a prolonged period of anticipation, fans are now poised to experience an “Assassin’s Creed” game set in Japan, a location long desired within the franchise. Titled “Assassin’s Creed Shadows”, this upcoming game allows players to command two main characters: Yasuke, a Samurai, and Naoe, a Shinobi, as they traverse the turbulent times of 16th-century Japan. However, the build-up to the launch of “Shadows” has been markedly difficult for Ubisoft, with criticism over one of the new “Assassin’s Creed” characters and multiple delays. The development team at Ubisoft Quebec hasn’t had a smooth sail in recent months due to these challenges.

Recently, details about an upcoming DLC for Assassin’s Creed Shadows named Claws of Awaji have leaked. These details were found in a now-deleted update on the game’s Steam page as reported by Insider Gaming. The leak suggests that players can expect to travel to a new region, gain access to a new weapon type, skills, gear, and abilities with this DLC. Furthermore, it is said that the expansion will add over 10 hours of additional content to Assassin’s Creed Shadows, extending its playtime. Additionally, it appears that those who pre-order the game will have access to both the Claws of Awaji DLC and a bonus mission.

Assassin’s Creed Shadows DLC Leaks, Coincides with Latest Delay Announcement

Based on recent news, details about an upcoming expansion for “Assassin’s Creed Shadows” were leaked on Steam following Ubisoft’s announcement that the game would be delayed again. Initially slated for release on November 15, 2024, the action RPG was initially postponed to February 14, 2025, due to the developers wanting more time to perfect and enhance the gaming experience. In a surprising turn of events, Ubisoft has now delayed the release date even further, moving it to March 20, 2025, much to the disappointment of fans.

With Assassin’s Creed Shadows set to release in just a few months from Ubisoft Quebec, there’s been some uncertainty regarding the future of its parent company, Ubisoft. Lately, whispers about a potential takeover by Tencent have been swirling around. This speculation arises following a challenging phase for Ubisoft, where several of their key games like XDefiant and Star Wars Outlaws haven’t fared well with audiences and fallen short of financial goals.
