Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced is just over a month away, but that hasn’t stopped Ubisoft from announcing one last big update for its last Assassin’s Creed game, Assassin’s Creed Shadows, and it’s one that’ll connect it to Edward Kenway and Co!
Per Ubisoft:
Today, Ubisoft announced that Assassin’s Creed Shadows Title Update 1.1.11 will launch as a free update on June 16 for all platforms, except the Nintendo Switch 2, which will receive it at a later date.
The game’s final major update introduces several additions, including:
- Black Tides: A final story arc delivering approximately two hours of narrative content that concludes Naoe and Yasuke’s journey while connecting to Edward Kenway’s story in Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced and the broader Assassin’s Creed universe. Access to Black Tides does not require ownership of the Claws of Awaji expansion, however, players must have completed the main story as well as the previous story content updates, A Critical Encounter and A Puzzlement.
- Domains: A replayability-focused set of challenges comprising five end-game simulations with evolving gameplay modifiers. Designed to challenge players’ mastery of combat and character builds, Domains offer new unlockable gear, exclusive rewards, and hidden secrets.
- A new Modern-Day Rift entitled Horizon: This newly opened Rift reveals emerging threats. The Eagle will provide more information about the Guide…
In addition to this update, two new projects will be added to the Animus Hub: Projects Undertow and Riptides. They feature Assassin’s Creed Black Flag-inspired outfits for Naoe and Yasuke. Following the release of Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced on July 9, players will also be able to unlock Assassin’s Creed Shadows-inspired outfits for Edward Kenway.
