Leaker reveals Ubisoft’s upcoming plans for Assassin’s Creed Shadows
Earlier this year, Ubisoft released Assassin’s Creed Shadows to a decent level of success, achieving one of the highest critic scores in quite a few entries – while also posting solid player numbers. Though Ubisoft have announced many of their post-launch plans for AC: Shadows, some details remained shrouded. Thanks to insiders however, we now have a much more concrete timeline of what’s in store.
As reported by known industry leakers Insider-Gaming (who have spoken on Ubisoft many times in the past), the company is planning to have its first paid DLC ‘Claws of Awaji’ arrive some time this September. Officially, the DLC is currently slated for a rather vague release window of “later this year.”
Perhaps more exciting however is Ubisoft’s plans beyond 2025. While the team have already shared their ‘Year 1’ roadmap, according to insider-gaming, the previously rumoured co-op mode “currently codenamed ‘LEAGUE’ is still in development and intended to release sometime next year.”
Little else was shared, however, we did get a few ancillary details on this upcoming mode, with one source telling Insider-Gaming “while [Naoe and Yasuke are] obviously central characters, there’s a deeper narrative tied into the co-op that will expand the experience beyond just the two of them.”
In case you missed it, Insider-Gaming previously offered a full breakdown of all the unannounced Assassin’s Creed games which are planned to release over the coming years – the full details of which can be found HERE.
