Ubisoft has finally confirmed the release date for Assassin's Creed Shadows' upcoming Claws of Awaji expansion, along with more highly requested features and updates. Following the launch of Assassin's Creed Shadows earlier this year, Ubisoft has continued working on the game, releasing plenty of updates, new features, and free content to keep players engaged.
Post-launch content for Assassin's Creed Shadows has included things like improved parkour mechanics, Photo Mode features, new quests, and special crossover content with other games like Balatro and Dead by Daylight. In fact, Assassin's Creed Shadows also teamed up with Critical Role, bringing a new character portrayed by Robbie Daymond into the game, alongside a new quest which helps make his character a recruitable ally. However, Ubisoft still has plenty of content on the horizon, which it has finally revealed in a new roadmap update.

There's been plenty of discussion and comparisons about both high-profile games set within Feudal Japan. Even though Ghost of Yotei primarily takes place in the northern areas of Japan within Hokkaido, Sucker Punch's Nate Fox and Jason Connell welcome the comparisons, stating that it's nice to see other games within this space.
