Assassin’s Creed Shadows Update 1.0.7 Patch Notes

New Game+

New Game+ is coming to Assassin’s Creed Shadows!

After wrapping up the primary story on any level of difficulty, you can initiate a fresh game with all previously accumulated abilities, equipment, companions, and hideout advancements carried over from your initial playthrough. To do this in Assassin’s Creed, navigate to the Memory Menu within the Animus once you have completed the adventures of Naoe, Yasuke, and Junjiro.

After finishing a New Game+ mode, you will receive the rewards “Whisper of Gold” and “Dragon’s Gold”. These rewards include two exceptional Legendary Long Katanas and Katanas, each featuring distinct, personalized engravings on their golden blades.

Experience multiple immersions in Feudal Japan, replaying the game as many as eight times if you so wish! Each time you embark on a New Game+, anticipate tougher adversaries, steeper challenges, and opportunities to prove your prowess as a Shinobi or Samurai.

Knowledge Rank & Level Cap Increase

Get ready to surpass previous boundaries! We’ve increased the maximum level from 60 to 80, which means you’ll encounter more challenging opponents armed with advanced techniques and heightened senses. This calls for quicker reactions and more tactical thinking.

To counteract this growing challenge, we’ve broadened the Knowledge Rank system up to levels 9 and 10. This expansion gives players the opportunity to uncover and refine a wider assortment of abilities, traits, and combat strategies, enabling them to reach unprecedented levels of mastery.

Ready for a fresh adventure? Before embarking, enhance the passive abilities and skills of Naoe and Yasuke! In this new experience, you’ll earn an additional rank for numerous Mastery Skill nodes, and a total of 10 new ranks for all existing Knowledge passive traits. This will make you even more powerful on your journey ahead!

A test of your abilities won’t be fair without the proper equipment! Now, you can elevate The Forge to level 4, enabling you to enhance all weapons and gear up to level 80. This way, you’ll stand a better chance against the increasing perils that lie ahead.

With new levels and ranks, come three new achievements and trophies waiting to be unlocked:

Enjoy the Ride: Reach Level 80
Stars Unseen: Reach Knowledge Rank 10
Worth its Wait: Obtain the Gold Katana and Gold Long Katana (by completing the story on New Game+).
