It’s strange how quickly things changed. Just after celebrating its first year, Vantage Studios, the team now leading the game, announced that support for Assassin’s Creed Shadows is winding down. It’s hard to understand how the game went from being considered a success to being seemingly abandoned, but that’s the nature of the industry. The big question is: even in 2026, is Assassin’s Creed Shadows worth playing for both longtime fans and newcomers? The answer is yes, but your enjoyment will depend on what you’re looking for in the game – just don’t expect a great story.
