Claws of Awaji is coming soon, and the Assassin’s Creed Shadows universe is about to expand.
It’s almost here! Ubisoft is going all in with Assassin’s Creed Shadows, marking a new era for the series – and we can’t wait. After fans waited a bit longer than expected for the latest installment, there’s finally something to celebrate: the DLC Claws of Awaji is on the horizon, promising over 10 hours of fresh gameplay. Here’s what you can expect from the first DLC drop!
“Thrown to the Dogs” – For the Quick Ones!
Before diving into the DLC, let's talk about the pre-order bonus quest: Thrown to the Dogs. If you pre-order Assassin’s Creed Shadows, you’ll unlock this special mission where you follow a dog on a quest for revenge after its master is executed. Imagine it like Hachiko going on a bloody revenge spree instead of just chilling at that train station every day.
The details are still mysterious, but expect a unique, action-packed adventure with a twist. While we don’t know much about the rewards or length, this quest promises to be an unforgettable, canine-led journey!
Claws of Awaji – New Location, New Enemies, New Weapons
Now let’s talk about the real DLC. Claws of Awaji takes us to the island of Awaji, where a brand-new threat awaits: the Sanzoku Ippa, a deadly faction that relentlessly hunts our two heroes, Yasuke and Naoe. The stakes are higher than ever, and players will have to outsmart and outfight these new enemies to survive. With new tactics and a fresh narrative unfolding, things are about to get intense in this new chapter.
But that’s not all – the expansion introduces a brand-new weapon: the Bō staff. Whether you're a fan of long-range strikes or close-quarter combat, this weapon is sure to become your best friend when facing these relentless foes. And if you thought the action was all that was new, think again. Awaji isn’t just a backdrop for battles; it’s a sprawling open-world area, perfect for stealth missions and intense face-offs. Whether you’re sneaking through the shadows or charging into a fight, there’s something for every Assassin at heart.
