Ubisoft just released the last update for Assassin’s Creed Shadows, which is scheduled to launch in 2025. The game has been in the spotlight recently, with a launch on Nintendo Switch 2 and a major crossover event with Attack on Titan currently underway. Building on this excitement, Ubisoft has released a new patch for AC Shadows with fresh content for players to enjoy.
Update 1.1.7 for Assassin’s Creed Shadows is now available on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC (and will be released on Switch 2 on December 17th). This is a significant update because it adds new finishing moves for both Naoe and Yasuke, making combat more varied and addressing a frequent player concern. Players can also enjoy a new quest called “Lost and Found” within the Animus Rift, and start a new project called Defiance.
Beyond the fresh features in Assassin’s Creed Shadows, Ubisoft has also addressed a number of existing issues. Some of these fixes are for the recently released Nintendo Switch 2 version, while others improve specific quests and how the game plays.
You can find a complete list of changes and improvements made to Assassin’s Creed Shadows in the latest update, as detailed in the patch notes from Ubisoft, linked below.
