Assassin’s Creed Shadows: Fall Roadmap Update
It’s rusty. Okay, cool, we’re starting,
alright. Hello everybody! Simon here with yet another roadmap
update for Assassin’s Creed Shadows! Now that most of you have been
able to enjoy some quality time untangling the grasp of the
Sanzoku Ippa on the island of Awaji, and that all of you have been able to
take Naoe’s new Bo Staff for a whirl, we’ve been receiving
some questions… Are you done with AC Shadows? Is that it? No ! No we’re not! Far from it in fact, we still have a
bunch of goodies coming your way, so today we’re gonna take a
look at everything you can expect until the Holidays this year. Starting on October 28th, we’re adding a new toggle
option called “Advanced Parkour”. This new option removes
all parkour guardrails which means you can do side-ejects
and back ejects from any heights, allowing you to risk life and limb
for death-defying parkour runs. The Advanced Parkour option also
brings refined control for side-ejects. First, performing a
side-eject with “Parkour Up” will allow you to
either gain height, which remains unchanged
since our first Parkour Update but if it can’t find a
decent landing spot, it will launch you
sideways horizontally as far as possible without
any height restriction. But here is the tweak: performing a side-eject
with “Parkour Down” will send you downward
at a sharp angle, generally much closer
to your starting point and you will never
gain any height. It’s a subtle change, but one that brings more
freedom of expression, which I am sure Parkour aficionados
around the world are gonna appreciate! Now for regular Parkour, meaning this will work whether or not you
have the Advanced Parkour option turned on, we are extending the context in which
the “vertical ledge grab” is gonna work, to include
non-standing objects. That means beams, lanterns,
little poles, things of that nature. Another small but
impactful parkour addition. From those same
non-standing objects, we are introducing a
new manual jump option, which allows you to do some creative
shortcuts while running along rooftops. Another way to
refine Parkour further. Now careful, this isn’t
a full manual jump, it only works from
non-standing objects. And finally, we are re-introducing
a much-requested feature called the Directional
Catch-Ledge mechanic: to catch a ledge, simply hold the
left stick towards the nearest ledge and tap the Parkour Up
button to catch that ledge and stop your
character from falling! This works from any height and it is particularly useful when
combined with Advanced Parkour or overeager
grappling hook swings! October 28 is also
when you can expect a new Animus-themed activity
called “Corrupted Castles”. Any previously completed
castle may get corrupted and filled with
Animus Anomalies including corrupted samurai Daisho
and their corresponding reward chests. Up to five Corrupted Castles will
appear on the map each season, allowing you plenty of opportunities
to re-engage those castles at higher levels of play
for even greater rewards! Now what about
free content drops? Well, the next one is coming
your way on November 25th and it’s called “A Puzzlement”. This quest has a much
more humorous silly tone much more akin to
something like AC Odyssey in which we are digging
up old foes from Naoe’s past who are now looking
for a bit of redemption. Naoe and Yasuke will
have to combine their efforts – and patience – to teach those two nitwits
how to become Kakushiba Ikki which also allows our two protagonists
to learn new skills from each other! Naoe will learn how to perform her own spectacular version
of Yasuke’s War Kick ability, and Yasuke will learn how to stealthily
dispatch enemies in a non-lethal way! And, you might finally be
able to settle the debate as to who would win in a straight up
duel between our two protagonists… Naoe: A duel huh? Yasuke: One harmless match. crowd: Duel! Duel! Duel! And as the name implies, “A Puzzlement” also introduces a brand new
and quite laborious environmental puzzle that may hold the answers to
a bunch of questions that you, the Community, have
been asking us for a while! Yasuke: You must be a little
curious about what is behind the door? Naoe: A little. But wait… There is more!! We are doubling down
on the free story drops because our next special collaboration
is also dropping on November 25th… We can’t say too much for now because
we don’t want to spoil the surprise but let’s just say that
it’s big. Okay, let’s recap things. New Game+, Progression Updates and Claws of Awaji
expansion are now live; we’ve got Parkour Update 2 and Corrupted Castle activity
coming on October 28th; we’ve got no less than two new free
story drops coming on November 25th, one of them is a
special collaboration; and you can also expect a whole bunch
of freebies around the Holiday Season! Come on guys, I’m
trying to wrap up here. What you got there anyway? What, this? It’s Assassin’s Creed
Shadows on Nintendo Switch 2! Wait, what, really? Yeah, it’s coming
out on December 2nd, just in time for the holidays. No way! And it has all the recent updates
and free content drops and everything? Except the Claws of Awaji Expansion
which will come later in the new year. There’s no way this works with
cross progression through Ubisoft Connect, so that I can pick up
where I left off, right? Yes it will! Cool! May I? Nope, get you own dude! Mariam, come on I’ll paint your house! I’ll walk your dog. I’m a cat person. I’ll do your homework! I have two master’s degrees.
