Assassin’s Creed Shadows – Title Update 1.0.5 Brings Parkour Improvements and Photo Mode Features

In live action now, Ubisoft has rolled out an update for “Assassin’s Creed Shadows,” introducing a mission inspired by “Dead by Daylight.” For those who prefer to avoid The Entity’s antics, this update also enhances parkour elements such as the option to grasp ledges and awnings without requiring vertical wall-running. Additionally, a stealthy accessory called the “Balatro” Trinket/Amulet has been included in the game.

When you’re parkouring, your sprint doesn’t stop if you keep pressing the directional input. The distance and height for side and back ejects have been enhanced, along with updated animations. For the Photo Mode, there are several new additions such as adjusting the time of day, playing music, modifying headgear visibility, and going fullscreen (only available on PC).

AC Shadows Title Update 1.0.5 – Release Notes

LIST OF BUG FIXES

General

Fixed the issue where players had a persistent New Item notification in their inventory. We did it!
Addressed an issue where some players were given a new save file at level 60, with gear and all objectives uncovered.
Fixed an issue where the desynchronization warning for ‘killing civilians’ would appear without any reason.
Fixed an issue where romancing Lady Oichi before romancing Rin could cause a breakup.
Fixed various localization issues.

Balancing

Fixed an issue where the Samurai Daisho and Ronin occasionally gave an extremely high amount of Mon regardless of their level, disincentivizing other methods of gaining Mon.
We have also partially rebalanced the Mon economy to encourage more world exploration and gameplay activities to earn Crafting Materials and Hideout Resources instead of purchasing them through merchants.
In pursuit of this, we’ve bumped up the cost of Crafting Materials and Hideout Resources sold by Merchants and lowered the quantity available each season for each Merchant.
If you still want to purchase them, we’ve increased the amount of Mon acquired from completing contracts.

World

Fixed an issue where Yagoro would become trapped in a Kofun and not return to the hideout.
Fixed an issue where players could remain stuck inside the construction site at Osaka Castle.

Quests

Fixed an issue where players could not exit the quest “Vision of Realms” if they selected ‘Quit to Memories’ and loaded their progress from the Animus Memories menu.
Fixed an issue where quitting during the “Nobutsuna Sensei” quest caused Yasuke to become stuck in the flashback.
Fixed an issue where Yaya doesn’t join “The League” after being successfully recruited.
Fixed progress issues in the “Showdown in Sakamoto” quest that happened if Katsuhime previously died.
Fixed an issue in the “Wake Up Call” quest where the “troublemaker” couldn’t be hunted down.
Fixed an issue in the “Find Local Dishes” quest where Narezushi could not be obtained from merchants.

Fixed an issue where the game incorrectly believed Katsuhime was dead and players could not complete the “Diary of Lady Rokkaku” quest.
Fixed an issue where players could not complete the “Diary of Lady Rokkaku” quest due to Naoe and Katsuhime being attached to surrounding water. They just wanted to go on a little swim!

Stealth
