Hey everyone! Get ready to dive deeper into Assassin's Creed Shadows because Ubisoft is dropping a new update that's packed with goodies. This update is basically a warm-up for the Claws of Awaji DLC, which I'm super hyped about. It's scheduled to go live soon, so keep an eye out!

What can you expect? Well, for starters, the level cap is being raised, which means more room to grow and customize your characters. We're also getting upgrades for our hideout – who doesn't love a better base of operations? The best part? We'll be able to fast-forward time! No more waiting around for the perfect moment to strike. Plus, there are new Ezio-themed Project Rewards. Talk about a blast from the past!

Now, let's talk about the Claws of Awaji DLC. This is where things get really interesting. It's launching on September 16th as a paid DLC, but if you pre-ordered Assassin's Creed Shadows, you're in luck – it's free! This expansion brings a new region to the game, along with a new weapon and abilities to master. I’m also expecting fresh outfits and legendary gear, because, let's be honest, who can resist a cool new look? We're also getting a new enemy faction and bosses to test our skills. And if that wasn't enough, the DLC is said to add over 10 hours of content. It's like getting a whole new game!

Ubisoft is also dropping a free story quest called "Go with the Bo," where you can join Junjiro to learn about the Bo staff. Completing this quest rewards you with your very own Bo to use across your adventures. The level cap is being raised to 100, and hideout upgrades are being expanded. You can also advance the time of day and improve scouts, giving you new options and advantages. Enhanced gear quality is also being introduced, with the Mythic and Artifact tiers. You can also access Ezio-themed gear through the new Project: Sanctuary, with the release of the Claws of Awaji expansion, there will be new Anomalies available in that region.

If you're into nitty-gritty details, like bug fixes (and who isn't?), the patch notes are extensive. They've squashed issues ranging from game crashes and localization problems to gameplay glitches and visual oddities. It sounds like they've been working hard to make sure everything runs smoothly.

So, there you have it! A bunch of cool stuff coming to Assassin's Creed Shadows. I, for one, can't wait to jump in and start exploring all the new content. Get ready to sharpen your blades and dive into the shadows!
