Ubisoft has just released Title Update 1.0.7 for Assassin’s Creed: Shadows and shared its full patch notes. So, let’s see what this new patch brings to the table.
Patch 1.0.7 is 16GB on Ubisoft Connect and 9GB on Steam. The update adds a New Game+ Mode. After finishing all the journeys of Naoe, Yasuke, and Junjiro, you can start a New Game+ from the Memory Menu in the Animus. If you complete a New Game+ playthrough, you’ll get special rewards called Whisper of Gold and Dragon’s Gold. These include new gold-plated Legendary Long Katana and Legendary Katana, each with unique perks.
The devs have raised the level cap from 60 to 80. This means you will face tougher enemies who use better tactics and are more aware. You will need faster reflexes and smarter strategies to beat them. They also expanded the Knowledge Rank system to levels 9 and 10. This lets you unlock and improve more skills, passives, and combat moves to become even stronger.
Title Update 1.0.7 also includes many balance changes. For example, you get more resources when you break down items. Allies get more health and deal more damage as you level up. Ronin enemies now have 4 health segments instead of 3. The patch also changes how much Mon you get from trading. Buying items costs less, and selling items gives you more money.
And that’s not all. Patch 1.0.7 also fixes some visual and PC-only problems. It fixes floating trees and rocks in the game world. The glowing eyes on the Mountain Demon Kanabo now show up in the right place when the weapon is put away. It also fixes a crash that happened when looking at hideout cosmetic stations on buildings with the Dragon Skin. Plus, the “Critical Hit!” achievement will now unlock correctly on PC.
Like always, Ubisoft Connect and Steam will download this update the next time you launch their clients. Below, you can also find its complete changelog.
