Expert Verified By

Claws Of Awaji Is Speculated To Further Explore Mythical Aspects Of Feudal Japan!

Story Highlight
  • The first Assassin’s Creed expansion is titled “Claws of Awaji.”
  • According to the deleted description on Steam, the expansion will include a new region and more than 10 hours of new content.
  • Speculations suggest future expansions may introduce additional content and co-op mode.

Ubisoft is locked in on the upcoming release of Assassin’s Creed Shadows, but it has now been delayed for the second time. The new release date is March 20th this year.

Following the delay, Ubisoft updated the first details of the game’s post-release content on Assassin’s Creed Shadow’s Steam page.

A now-deleted description revealed that Assassin’s Creed Shadows will receive a new expansion pack post-launch, titled “Claws of Awaji.” This pack will feature more than 10 hours of new content, and players will be able to visit an entirely new region, separated from the base game’s map. 

Why it matters: All the mainline Assassin’s Creed games get major DLC expansions as part of their post-launch treatment, bringing new stories and gameplay features to visit. Claws of Awaji will do the same as is set to expand more on the base game’s elements.

As the details read, Claws of Awaji will introduce a new weapon, Bo, which players must master while reclaiming a lost treasure on the island, as a mysterious threat is hunting them.

If Shadows follows the tradition of past Assassin’s Creed RPG games, this DLC will introduce fantastical elements and serve as a bridge to the base game and expansion.

Subsequent speculation suggests that the second expansion will introduce more elements and hours of content. Reports have also previously indicated that Assassin’s Creed Shadows will include a co-op mode in the future.
