Assassin's Creed Shadows' First DLC, "Claws of Awaji," Leaks on Steam

A Steam leak has reportedly revealed details about the first downloadable content (DLC) for Assassin's Creed Shadows, titled "Claws of Awaji." This expansion, set in feudal Japan, promises a significant addition to the already anticipated title.

Assassin's Creed Shadows marks the franchise's debut in Japan, a highly requested setting by fans. Players will control dual protagonists, the Samurai Yasuke and the Shinobi Naoe, navigating 16th-century Japan. The game's development has been fraught with challenges, including negative feedback regarding character design and multiple release date delays.

The recently deleted Steam update, according to Insider Gaming, unveiled information about "Claws of Awaji." The DLC reportedly introduces a new region, weapon type, skills, gear, and abilities, adding over 10 hours of gameplay. Pre-ordering the game will grant access to both the "Claws of Awaji" DLC and a bonus mission.

Delayed Launch and Industry Uncertainty

This leak follows the game's latest delay, pushing the release date from February 14, 2025, to March 20, 2025. Ubisoft cited the need for further polishing and refinement. This delay, coupled with rumors of a potential Tencent buyout of Ubisoft, adds another layer of complexity to the game's launch. Ubisoft has faced recent challenges with several underperforming titles, casting a shadow over the company's future.

The "Claws of Awaji" DLC leak offers a glimpse of what awaits players in Assassin's Creed Shadows, adding intrigue to an already eventful development cycle.
