Since its release over a month ago, Assassin’s Creed Shadows (AC Shadows) has captured the attention of gamers worldwide. Ubisoft is committed to enriching the game with a variety of updates, highlighted by the introduction of new Story Drops. These free content additions are set to offer players new quests that unlock additional abilities, introduce new allies, and expand world activities.

Players can look forward to encountering new enemies, mastering new abilities for both protagonists, and wielding an exclusive new weapon for Naoe.
