AC Shadows Update For May 27 Brings Collaborations, New Features

As Ubisoft promised in the roadmap revealed last month, Assassin’s Creed Shadows is getting a major update by the end of the month in May. May 27th, tomorrow on all platforms.

AC Shadows players not only see new features and bug fixes, but also collaborate with other game franchises. Yes, there are several that surprised me.

Assassin’s Creed Shadows Title Update 1.0.5 will be available on May 27th, bringing you Dead By Daylight Crossover

The major new additions are crossover content with Behavior Interactive’s Dead by Daylight Multiplayer Horror Franchise. This event brings new free quests that players can access from their hideout as they unleash Yasuke as a playable character. For those who complete the event, you will be rewarded with free trinkets and banners.

Players can also personalize two main characters in a daytime themed cosmetic bundle in the store, where costumes, weapons, trinkets and more are available in total.

Dead by Daylight is not the only game where AC Shadows intersect. Indie hit Balatro will now enter the game. New trinkets have been added for NACE, and Yasuke’s amulet is called “Winning Hand,” inspired by the card game Balatro. Legendary perks give players the opportunity to trigger a random distress effect on the combo ender.

With Ubisoft also adding new Parkour improvements, the collaboration content isn’t just new.

It also includes being deployed as part of a patch. It also includes a new photo mode feature.

The Xbox Series X | S version also gets platform-specific fixes.

• Addressed mouse and keyboard input issues.

• Restored the balanced performance mode that was missing in Xbox Series X after update 1.0.4.

• Notes: In balanced performance modes, you need a proper setup with a 120, 144, 165, or 240 Hz monitor.

This is a meat patch, but not even the biggest patch you plan to drop. The roadmap has confirmed that more updates are ongoing, with new rumours stating that the first premium expansion, Awaji’s claws will be released in September.
