Ubisoft Quebec has announced the release of the forthcoming title update 1.0.5 for Assassin’s Creed Shadows, set to launch on May 27, 2025, for PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC. This update marks a significant enhancement for players, as the ‘Thrown to the Dogs’ quest, which was previously exclusive to pre-order users, will now be accessible to everyone.
Additionally, the patch includes a collaborative event with Dead by Daylight, introducing a new quest inspired by that popular game. Although specific details about the quest remain under wraps, Ubisoft has teased that players will need to navigate unique mechanics to combat a mysterious threat that endangers the villagers of Harima.
In another collaboration, albeit smaller in scale, players will find a new trinket for the character Naoe and an amulet for Yasuke, both designed with themes inspired by Balatro.
The update also brings enhancements to the parkour mechanics, allowing players to maintain sprinting while climbing, as long as directional inputs remain consistent. This improvement reduces the need to re-engage the sprint function. Furthermore, both characters can now jump vertically to access ledges and overhangs, streamlining vertical movement options.
For photography enthusiasts, the game’s Photo Mode has received enhancements, enabling players to adjust the time of day and save custom filters for their images. As with any substantial update, a variety of bug fixes will also be implemented to improve overall gameplay.
This update not only expands the content available to players but also significantly enhances the user experience, promising an exciting time for fans of the franchise.
