A large portion of the community has also been excited about rumors that Assassin’s Creed Shadows could be heading to Nintendo Switch 2 after the console’s launch on June 5. While there’s no way of knowing if the potential port will have achievements on that platform, many people seem to be eager to take the game with them on the go. Gamers who have long commutes or spend hours away from home have stated that the option to take the game with them might allow them to finally tackle it. Unfortunately, Ubisoft has not officially confirmed or denied the rumors.

Many fans are eagerly awaiting the release of Assassin’s Creed Shadows‘ Claws of Awaji DLC, which is expected to arrive sometime in 2025. The events of the DLC will take place after the conclusion of the base game, meaning it will continue the stories of Yasuke and Naoe. The developers behind the DLC have described it as “spookier” than the main game, as the protagonists are being hunted on a mysterious island. The upcoming DLC will be free for those who pre-ordered the game before its launch in March. With a whole open world to explore and an expansion on the way, many fans are feeling optimistic about the future of Assassin’s Creed Shadows.
