The first DLC planned for Assassin’s Creed Shadows, Claws of Awaji, has been leaked. The new map will offer new abilities and more than 10 hours of content.
Ubisoft’s new game set in Japan Assassin’s Creed Shadows Claws of Awaji, the first DLC pack planned for the game, was revealed through a leak. According to the information that appeared briefly on the Steam page, this additional package will add a new map, a new weapon type, new abilities and more than 10 hours of additional content to the game. Players who pre-order Claws of Awaji will also be offered bonus missions. However, it is also stated that this DLC can be offered to all players for free.
What Does Claws of Awaji DLC Offer?
According to leaked information, Claws of Awaji will focus on Awaji Island, which has an important place in Japan’s Shinto mythology. On the world map shown in the collector’s edition trailer of Assassin’s Creed Shadows, Awaji Island was included as an empty region. It is thought that this space will be filled with DLC. Players will embark on a new adventure by being introduced to the legendary stories of Shinto mythology.
Ubisoft is abandoning the traditional Season Pass model with Assassin’s Creed Shadows. While DLCs in previous games were generally offered to Season Pass holders, with this new model, Claws of Awaji is expected to be offered free of charge to all players. Ubisoft is changing its strategy after the poor performance of its games such as Star Wars Outlaws.
Assassin’s Creed Shadows attracts great attention as the long-awaited first Japan-themed game. However, the release date of the game has been postponed twice and is currently set as March 20, 2025. It is thought that Ubisoft is taking advantage of this additional time to ensure that the game is released without errors and success.
Assassin’s Creed Shadows aims to offer players an unforgettable experience with both the base game and content such as Claws of Awaji. The leaked DLC has already created great excitement among fans of the game.
