While Assassin’s Creed Shadows has suffered another delay, plans are still proceeding apace. A new batch of previews is reportedly going live on January 23rd.
However, details of the first expansion have been revealed before that courtesy of the game’s Steam page. According to the now-pulled description, it’s titled Claws of Awaji and features a new region to explore (one where players will feel “the fear of being hunted and under threat”).
It also introduces a new weapon type in the Bo, new skills and gear, and fresh enemies to deal with as players search for “lost treasure.” Perhaps the most notable part of the expansion is its promise of over ten hours of new content.
Claws of Awaji will launch later this year for free to those who pre-order the game. Ubisoft may offer more details shortly before launch, so stay tuned for updates.
Assassin’s Creed Shadows launches on March 20th for Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and PC. Its recent delay was due to the developer requiring a “few additional weeks” to implement feedback and “ensure an even more ambitious and engaging day-one experience.”
