Amid the bed of controversy that followed Assassin’s Creed Shadows earlier in 2025, it still remains a highlight for the series as it retools the formula in a refreshing direction. Rectify Gaming in our review scored the game an 8.5/10. “Assassin’s Creed Shadows successfully revitalizes the franchise by introducing a compelling setting, well-developed characters, and innovative gameplay mechanics,” we wrote.

In the months that followed Assassin’s Creed Shadows, Ubisoft has also been met with a tall list of users that played the game. As of recently, Ubisoft officially disclosed that Assassin’s Creed Shadows has faced more than 5 million players in just the first half year of it releasing. Furthermore, the post-launch plans for the game is also ripe as the developer laid out for it when hitting store shelves then.

This week, Assassin’s Creed Shadows announces the next major wave for the game is here with Update 1.0.7. The title update welcomes New Game+ alongside a higher level cap and plenty of quality of life improvements. You can watch the trailer in the video below:

“Upon completing the main story on any difficulty, start a new game while keeping all collected skills, gear, Allies and hideout progression from your first playthrough. You can start a New Game+ playthrough from the Memory Menu in the Animus after finishing all journeys of Naoe, Yasuke and Junjiro. Upon completing a New Game+ playthrough you’ll be awarded Whisper of Gold, and Dragon’s Gold! Brand new gold plated Legendary Long Katana and Legendary Katana with their own unique perk engravings.

“Take your journey through Feudal Japan to the next level as many times as you want… or at least up to 8 times with New Game+!” the description reads. “New Game+ awaits! But before taking on the task of a new journey, you can upgrade the passives and skills of Naoe and Yasuke! Players will gain 1 new rank for multiple nodes in their Mastery Skills, and 10 new ranks for all existing Knowledge passives to become even more formidable.”
