Ubisoft has confirmed it no longer plans to launch a second major Assassin’s Creed Shadows expansion, something that previously would have formed part of the game’s now-abandoned season pass. <\/p>\n

Shadows’ first \u2014 and now, it seems, only \u2014 major expansion launched in September. The 10-hour Claws of Awaji had previously been described as the “first expansion” included in Shadows’ season pass, an offer that was formally scrapped a year ago when Ubisoft delayed the game’s launch from November 2024 to February 2025.<\/p>\n

As an apology to fans for the game’s delay, Ubisoft said it instead would gift Claws of Awaji for free to all pre-order customers. But fans still assumed a second expansion would follow at some point, as has become custom for every other major Assassin’s Creed title over the past decade. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

“As of now, at this moment for Year Two, there is no expansion on the size of Awaji that is planned,” associate game director Simon Lemay-Comtois said in an interview with JorRaptor.<\/p>\n

Lemay-Comtois caveated his answer by noting some exceptional examples in the past where Ubisoft had changed its plans to make more add-on content than it had originally envisioned (such as with the recent Saudi-funded DLC that arrived two years post-launch for Assassin’s Creed Mirage). But, currently, it seems clear that no second expansion is on the cards, and there’s no suggestion that Shadows’ post-launch plans will extend into a Year Three.<\/p>\n

It’s an extremely surprising decision by Ubisoft, which followed up the launch of 2017’s Assassin’s Creed Origins with two expansions (The Hidden Ones and The Curse of the Pharaohs), 2018’s Assassin’s Creed Odyssey with two expansions (Legacy of the First Blade and The Fate of Atlantis), and 2020’s Assassin’s Creed Odyssey with three expansions (Wrath of the Druids, The Siege of Paris, Dawn of Ragnar\u00f6k) alongside numerous other smaller DLC drops. 2023’s smaller-scale Assassin’s Creed Mirage was itself originally planned as yet another Valhalla expansion, before it was ultimately released as a standalone game.<\/p>\n
