An in-depth look at Ubisoft’s latest, bloated open-world title.

The officialUbisoftwebsite has the patch notes for the newly released 1.0.7 update for Assassin’s Creed Shadows, which is roughly 9GB on all platforms. Thislatest patch is a doozy, especially for those who can’t get enough of the base game.

Assassin’s Creed Shadows Has A New Game+ Mode

The biggest addition in the 1.0.7 patch is New Game+, which can be accessed aftercompleting the main game. This lets the player start over with most of their old gear and resources unlocked from the beginning, which can be done up to eight times. Players who finish a New Game+ run will be given awesome new golden katanas: Whisper of Gold and Dragon’s Gold, as souvenirs of their victory.

Naturally, the enemies in New Game+ are tougher, with the level cap raised from 60 to 80 to accommodate this. The Knowledge Rank system has added levels 9 and 10 to give the player even more abilities to use in combat. The Forge can also be upgraded to level 4, allowing access to stronger weapon upgrades.
