A highlight of the roadmap is the introduction of new Story Drops. These are multiple free content additions that will enrich the game.

In addition to the Story Drops, Ubisoft is gearing up for the release of their first expansion, The Claws of Awaji, later this year. This DLC will transport players to the island of Awaji, a fresh region to explore post-epilogue. Expect to encounter new enemies, unlock new abilities for both protagonists, and wield an exclusive new weapon for Naoe.

The Claws of Awaji DLC is included free for those who pre-ordered AC Shadows, but will also be available for purchase for other players. For more details on AC Shadows’ DLCs and the full roadmap, be sure to check out our comprehensive article below!
