Assassin’s Creed Shadows is finally here. After overcoming delays, the game has finally made its grand entrance, and players around the world are already diving into this thrilling adventure. However, every game comes with its bugs and often needs immediate updates. This game had a bigger problem. Ubisoft took some heat from a clip that surfaced of a shrine being destroyed, a sacred part of Japanese culture. The company acted swiftly, and the new update made it impossible to destroy certain parts of the game.

Assassin’s Creed Shadows Update

The update has touched upon a subject that sparked lively debates even before the game’s release: the destruction of shrines and temples. Ubisoft has listened to the passionate community and taken a step back, deciding to remove the destructibility of certain objects in these sacred spaces. This move comes in the wake of many discussions on cultural respect and integrity, even catching the attention of Japan’s Prime Minister.

Assassin’s Creed Shadows’ day-one update also brings a suite of improvements. Bug fixes ensure that technical hiccups don’t mar the immersive experience. The patch addresses issues like players getting stuck inside moveable objects during intense encounters, and it tweaks horse navigation to offer a smoother ride across the breathtaking landscapes of Japan. It’s a testament to Ubisoft’s commitment to delivering a polished gaming experience that respects both the player and the world’s cultural context. Here is a full list of the fixes for the day one update.

• Players no longer getting stuck inside movable objects after dodging forward and interacting with them in kofuns
• Fix for procedural weapons being removed incorrectly when selling items
• Adjustments to prevent players from going out of bounds when proning against objects
• Improved horse navigation, reducing issues with turning and blocked paths
• Lighting adjustments for cave, kofun, and architectural entrances/exits
• Fixes for cloth clipping on Yasuke’s outfits (while riding) and Naoe’s outfits (while crouching)
• Citizens without weapons no longer bleed when attacked, reducing unintended blood spill in temples/shrines
• Tables and racks in temples/shrines are now indestructible (Some objects like drums or bowls can still be broken as they are generic ones present everywhere in the world) (Tables are still dynamic objects, so players can still move/push them).

A New And Exciting Adventure

In Assassin’s Creed Shadows, gamers can step into the shoes of not just one but two iconic characters: Naoe, a deft Assassin, and Yasuke, a formidable Samurai. This dynamic duo offers players a unique blend of stealth tactics and raw warrior prowess, weaving an engaging narrative that immerses you in Japan’s rich historical tapestry. The game’s reception has been overwhelmingly positive, and with these promising updates, the excitement just keeps building.

This title’s attention to detail, from the intricate architecture of ancient Japan to the nuanced depiction of its people, is sure to captivate and inspire. The game allows players to explore a world teeming with history, mystery, and vibrant storytelling, all while caring for the cultural landscapes. As you dive into Assassin’s Creed Shadows, be prepared to encounter a world where the past and the present seamlessly blend, creating an experience that is as thrilling as it is respectful.
