Assassin’s Creed Shadows Update 1.1.6 Patch Notes

Special Collaboration: Attack On Titan

Okay, so this is crazy! Someone’s brought a super-powerful, shape-shifting Titan to feudal Japan, and they’ve secretly taken over. It looks like they’re planning to completely take control of everything, and it’s seriously intense!

When a rescue mission for the Shifter goes wrong, the only person left alive—who is hiding a dangerous secret—brings Naoe and Yasuke together to prevent a powerful Titan from destroying Japan.

New Story Quest: A Puzzlement

Who is up for some friendly competition?

“A Puzzlement” is the third story chapter available in Assassin’s Creed Shadows. This lighthearted quest introduces Naoe and Yasuke to two old friends who are arguing over a strange door located in southern Wakasa. The pair ask Naoe and Yasuke to solve the mystery of how to open it.
