Gamers on the Epic Games Store can now earn achievements in the popular action-adventure title, Assassin’s Creed Shadows. Launched on March 20, 2025, the game has quickly become the second best-selling title of the year, only surpassed by Monster Hunter Wilds. It has garnered critical acclaim for its stunning visuals and engaging gameplay, currently holding a score of 81 on OpenCritic. Assassin’s Creed Shadows follows the journeys of its main protagonists, Naoe and Yasuke, as players explore a vast open world, engage in stealth missions, and confront various enemies.
The recent update from the Epic Games Store that introduced achievements has delighted many players who previously expressed disappointment over their absence. This addition has provided a renewed motivation for players to dive back into the game, with some citing a stronger incentive to complete challenges. In addition to gameplay updates, there are intriguing rumors swirling about a possible port of Assassin’s Creed Shadows to the Nintendo Switch 2, which is set to launch on June 5. While official confirmation from Ubisoft is still pending, players who often find themselves commuting or away from home are excited at the prospect of taking the game on the go.
However, it remains uncertain whether achievements would be available on this potential new platform. Fans are also eagerly anticipating the upcoming Claws of Awaji DLC, scheduled to release sometime in 2025. This expansion will take place after the events of the main game and will feature Yasuke and Naoe as they confront new challenges on a mysterious island. Described by developers as “spookier” than the base game, this DLC will be free for those who pre-ordered the title.
With an expansive open world to explore and additional content on the horizon, players have much to look forward to in the future of Assassin’s Creed Shadows.
