- Assassin’s Creed Shadows will not receive a second DLC on par with Claws of Awaji.
- Ubisoft plans to support the game with smaller content pieces moving forward.
- The team will use player feedback to judge how well this strategy will work for the future.
Assassin’s Creed Shadows received its first major piece of additional content last month, but the reception was not as positive as Ubisoft had hoped for.
The DLC was immediately met with a wave of negative reviews, with fans citing bugs and a slew of other technical issues. Although a second DLC was also in the works as a follow-up to Claws of Awaji, Ubisoft says it is no longer happening.
Why it matters: The gaming giant previously released multiple big DLCs for its RPGs, so Assassin’s Creed Shadows will end up being the exception to this rule.
In an interview with JorRaptor, Assassin’s Creed Shadows associate game director Lemay-Comtois revealed that a second expansion on the scale of Claws of Awaji is not happening for Assassin’s Creed Shadows.
He highlighted that Ubisoft could still divert from these plans since the company has previously changed plans in major ways, with Assassin’s Creed Mirage being the biggest example of such a shift. However, fans should not expect such a DLC for the time being.
Moving forward with Assassin’s Creed Shadows, Ubisoft still plans on releasing post-launch content. The studio intends to keep things ‘small and reactive’ with the game, testing how audiences respond to this style of post-launch support.
At this moment, for year two, there is no expansion on the size of Awaji that is planned.

For future updates, therefore, fans should expect content like the parkour upgrades and Attack on Titan crossover. The team will then use player feedback to determine its next moves.
