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.
