Assassin’s Creed Shadows DLC Will Break Records

Assassin’s Creed Shadows’ best-kept DLC, which will reportedly feature a generous ten-plus hours of extra material, could break the record for being one of the biggest add-ons in the series’ history. To date, the era-hopping anthology has spanned a lot more than a handful of additional content drops, including several side-scrolling spin-offs, cosmetic upgrades, and even the odd campaign. However, it seems that the latest chapter in the book, which is currently due to launch on March 20, 2025 in spite of its controversial date pertaining to the anniversary of a Japanese terrorist attack, will have quite the collection of stories to tell.

The DLC, which will seemingly feature a sizable story and, if what we’ve been hearing turns out to ring true, a few more locations to explore around Japan, will compliment a core campaign that Ubisoft claims to span between thirty and sixty hours, depending on how the player approaches the game and its side activities and challenges. All in all, that should, if we take everything into account, amount to a solid seventy-hour game, give or take. That’s a lot to shovel through, especially when you consider the size of the open-world locale that Shadows will have to offer—a map that it reported to sit on a similar wavelength as Origins, believe it or not.

Assassin’s Creed Shadows: Claws of Awaji DLC Announced

Unfortunately, there’s still a tremendous amount we don’t actually know about the post-launch DLC, minus the fact that it will be titled Claws of Awaji, and that it will flesh out an otherwise compressed and chock-full base campaign. Even still, it appears that Assassin’s Creed Shadows could very well be one of Ubisoft’s most ambitious sequences in the saga to date.
