Assassin’s Creed Shadows Update Adds New Feature Players Say Is “A Little Too Late”

by

Title Update 1.0.6 for “Assassin’s Creed Shadows” was recently released, introducing several exciting enhancements to the game. Key features include a new nightmare difficulty setting, a collaboration with Critical Role, and additional improvements. On the whole, it appears to be a beneficial update considering the fresh content and quality-of-life adjustments. Nevertheless, one modification has sparked considerable criticism from players. Usually, such backlash is due to the inclusion of an unwanted feature in updates. However, in this instance, Ubisoft introduced an option that many players feel should have been added earlier.

The latest addition to ‘Assassin’s Creed Shadows’, which is creating quite a buzz, is the option to switch headgear during cutscenes. Earlier, the default headgear for both Yasuke and Naoe was displayed in cutscenes regardless of what the player had equipped on their characters. With the recent update, players can modify this in-game setting, resulting in characters mirroring their appearance throughout gameplay during these scenes as well. As one gamer expressed on X/Twitter, “this is fantastic because I enjoy making my characters look comical during serious moments.

As a gamer diving into Assassin’s Creed Shadows, I get why some folks are miffed about this new feature – it was added well after the game’s release. For those who have already completed or almost finished the game, they might miss out on these scenes unless they replay from the beginning. However, for fresh gamers like myself, or those yet to grab a copy, this addition is a nice touch. It’s too bad that seasoned players who’ve invested substantial time into the game can’t help but wish this feature had been part of the original package.

As a gamer, I’m eagerly anticipating the upcoming DLC because I can’t wait to witness my character’s unique style reflected in the cutscenes. It’s a small detail, but it means a lot to me when games acknowledge and align with my choices throughout the gameplay. This little touch makes the gaming experience feel more cohesive and immersive, as if I’m truly living the role of the character. In essence, it’s one more step towards making the game world feel more real and personalized for me.

It’s likely that gamers of ‘Assassin’s Creed Shadows’ will have additional opportunities to showcase their unique style within the game. Alongside the DLC content, the new nightmare difficulty level offers a perfect reason for players to explore further. Naturally, some are eagerly awaiting the launch of a “new game plus” mode, which would provide another incentive for revisiting the game.
