Upcoming DLC for Assassin’s Creed Shadows: ‘Claws of Awaji’

A recent report from Insider Gaming reveals that players can anticipate the release of the first significant downloadable content (DLC) for Assassin’s Creed Shadows, titled ‘Claws of Awaji’, scheduled for September 2025.

Prior Content Updates

‘Claws of Awaji’ marks a pivotal addition to the story, but it’s not the only new narrative content introduced after the game’s March launch. Earlier this month, an update on May 6 provided players with a fresh quest named ‘The Works of Luis Frois’.This update continues to expand on the game’s lore and challenges.

Moreover, Ubisoft’s roadmap indicates further story developments slated for June, which will feature another quest alongside the introduction of a new ally to the player’s circle of Assassins. Notably, both the recent and upcoming quests will be available as free updates, keeping the player community engaged.

Details About ‘Claws of Awaji’

As the inaugural paid DLC, ‘Claws of Awaji’ promises to enrich the gameplay experience, with expectations of offering an impressive additional 10 hours of content. Players will gain access to a new region to explore alongside an arsenal of fresh weapons, enhancing combat dynamics and strategic options.

Future Co-op Mode Features

In addition to the forthcoming DLC, Insider Gaming has hinted at a co-op mode expected to debut next year. While it was initially assumed that this mode would limit gameplay to the primary characters, Naoe and Yasuke, it appears that a broader narrative will be explored, featuring additional characters beyond just these two protagonists.

According to sources, “While they’re obviously central characters [Naoe and Yasuke], there’s a deeper narrative tied into the co-op that will expand the experience beyond just the two of them.”This suggests an intriguing enhancement to game dynamics, potentially allowing players to utilize other league members during cooperative play.

A notable mechanic in Shadows already involves summoning league members, hinting at a possible system where players might take control of various characters in the anticipated co-op mode.
